The Wine
On the 2022 Vintage: 97 Points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion ‘Chardonnay from the Pooley Cooinda Vale vineyard near Campania; matured in French oak (35% new). Light straw with aromas of white peach, nectarine and grapefruit with hints of soft spice, nougat, white flowers, oatmeal, a wisp of struck flint and crushed riverstone. Savoury and pure, it's a wine of great detail and clarity. Crystalline acidity provides the line and there is a distinct savoury umami ache to its presence on the palate as the wine trails away, complex and captivating. Drink 2023-2030’

About the Wine Maker 
Pooley Wines was established in 1985 when the late Denis and Margaret Pooley planted ten rows of Riesling and seven rows of Pinot Noir on their 16-hectare farm at Cooinda Vale in the Coal River Valley in southern Tasmania. In 2003, John Pooley, son of Denis and Margaret, and his wife Libby bought Belmont Lodge, a heritage-listed Georgian home on the outskirts of Richmond. They have been lovingly renovating this second Pooley Wines Coal River Valley property, and planted vines on nearby Butchers Hill. In 2007 the first vintage of Pinot was produced from this steep vineyard site that overlooks the township of Richmond.
