Pooley is one of Tasmania's long-established producers, with vines originally planted by the late Margaret & Dennis Pooley at their Cooinda Vale property in the Coal River Valley in 1985. The Pooley estate now includes Butcher's Hill on the outskirts of Richmond. Anna Pooley and Justin Bubb make the wines.
2024 Pooley Pinot Noir (Coal River Valley blend): Fruit from Butchers Hill and Cooinda Vale vineyards plus selected growers in the region. Michele's notes: Spice and woody herbs frame the briary fruits. Hints of cocoa. Smooth in the mouth but there is a vibrancy to the fruit which is nice contrast to the bitter chocolate tang and savoury fine tannins.
2023 Pooley Cooinda Vale Pinot Noir: From the original Campania site. Michele's notes: Deeply hued. Alluring bouquet – dark fruits, notably blue berries and blackberries with evident minerality/earthiness, clove spice and brighter notes of pomegranate. Refreshing acidity and chalky/savoury tannins frame morello and dark cherry fruits, with licks of salty Dutch liquorice adding complexity to the fine structure. With each sip, the flavours build.
