Pooley Wines, established in 1985 by Denis and Margaret Pooley, began as a retirement plan with a small vineyard on the banks of the Coal River in southern Tasmania. What started as a distraction soon flourished into a premium cool-climate site. With the dedication of three generations of the Pooley family, their Cooinda Vale vineyard became renowned for its meticulous care and unique microclimate. In 2003, they expanded their estate with the purchase of Belmont and established the Butcher’s Hill vineyard. Despite the passing of Denis and Margaret, the family’s commitment to producing wines that reflect their environment and push the boundaries of quality continues. Today, Pooley Wines is recognized as one of Australia’s finest cool-climate producers, with the prestigious Halliday Wine Companion awarding them the 2023 Winery of the Year.

Sitting between 80-100m above sea level, the vineyard is tucked away in a nook of hills North of Campania making it much more protected from prevailing weather conditions. Being more continental it also experiences greater extremes in temperatures bringing more frequent frosts, snow and heat waves. The iron lacking grey brown sandy loam over clay subsoils at this site tend to bring a moderate level of struggle to the vines by restricting deep root growth and water accessibility but in turn creates a wine that is more delicate and finer.

Cedarwood, kirsch, oakmoss and warming spices intermingle on the nose, creating a complex and alluring bouquet. On the palate, this Pinot Noir showcases a restrained yet expressive character.
