Pooley Butcher’s Hill Cane Cut Riesling 2024 375ml

Pooley Butcher’s Hill Cane Cut Riesling 2024 is a beautifully concentrated dessert wine that showcases the precision and craftsmanship of Tasmania’s Coal River Valley. Sourced from the elevated Butcher’s Hill Vineyard, the fruit benefits from long, cool ripening conditions that preserve piercing natural acidity while allowing flavours to develop remarkable purity. The canes were cut late in the season to naturally dehydrate the grapes on the vine, intensifying sugars, aromatics, and phenolic texture without relying on botrytis. Hand-picking ensures only the cleanest, most flavour-rich bunches are selected, highlighting Pooley’s meticulous approach to sweet-wine production.

In the winery, the juice undergoes a unique multi-stage pressing and skin-contact process that further amplifies concentration and depth. The wine is then matured on fine lees for several months, adding subtle weight and roundness while maintaining tension and drive. The 2024 release is known for its luminous clarity, combining sweetness with refreshing acidity, resulting in a dessert style that is expressive yet elegantly restrained. It captures the cool-climate hallmark of Pooley: wines built on balance, finesse, and vineyard expression rather than overt richness.
