This means the vineyard’s continental climate results in frequent frosts, snow, and heatwaves.

This unique position provides the site with long hours of sunlight, protection from cold southern winds, and increased soil drainage. The soil at Butchers Hill is rich in iron oxide deposits, which allows for heat and water to be held longer due to its darker and more clay-based composition. These soil attributes also interact with the production of flavonoids in the fruit, resulting in complex and robust wines that are characteristic of the region. The lead-up to the 2022 vintage was marked by some of the wettest winters on record, followed by a cool and drying spring into summer, with high humidity. These factors contributed to healthy canopies and bunch numbers, but the cool conditions around the time of flowering resulted in some poor fruit set in earlier flowering varieties. This led to a combination of small and large size berries, reducing overall yields and intake in those varieties.

This elegant and refined chardonnay is a true representation of the region's cool-climate character. The grapes were hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed to tank before being racked to barrel for 20 days of wild barrel fermentation. The wine then underwent an 8-month maturation in 25% new French oak barriques, with minimal lees stirring and 20% malolactic fermentation. On the nose, the Pooley Butcher’s Hill Chardonnay 2022 offers aromas of apricot and white nectar, with subtle hints of flint and orchard fruits.

The grapes were hand-picked and underwent a 10-day fermentation using the XR yeast strain, with 35% of the grapes left as whole bunches and 65% destemmed. This was followed by a 7-day post-ferment maceration period. The wine was then matured in 25% new French oak barriques, with a fine grain and medium toast, for a total of 11 months. On the nose, the Pooley Butcher’s Hill Pinot Noir 2022 offers perfumed notes of spiced black cherry, dark fruits and tobacco leaf. On the palate, there is a lovely balance of umami and red fruits, underscored by impressions of pepper, macerated cherries and cured meat. The wine finishes with finely boned tannins, making for a silky-smooth finish, along with a bright line of acidity. This is a wine that truly represents the best of the region's cool-climate character and is a testament to the skill and dedication of the winemakers at Pooley Wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Finer Details\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eStyle - Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Australia\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Coal River Valley, Tasmania\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2022\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV - 13.7%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pooley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40199390330967,"sku":"PBHPN22","price":79.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/pooley-butchers-hill-pinot-noir_ba220d42-4cd9-4fc9-ad3b-7fdb11dbea58.png?v=1686805586"},{"product_id":"pooley-pinot-grigio-2023","title":"Pooley Pinot Grigio 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003ePooley Wines is a family-owned vineyard that was established in 1985 by Denis and Margaret Pooley, who planted vines on the banks of the Coal River in southern Tasmania.

With the help of their son and grandchildren, three generations of the Pooley family have continued to bring meticulous care to their Cooinda Vale vineyard. In 2003, John Pooley and his wife Libby expanded their estate and established a second vineyard, Butcher’s Hill, with its first vintage produced in 2007.
