Product Description:
Pooley’s Pinot Grigio 2024 showcases the elegance and vibrancy of Tasmania’s cool climate, with fruit sourced from the family vineyards in Richmond and Campania, Coal River Valley. Handpicked in late March, the fruit underwent a gentle pressing, with a portion of lees left in during fermentation for added texture and depth. The result is a crisp, dry wine with delicate aromas of red apple, jasmine, and a hint of sour candy. The palate is fresh and lean, with bright orchard fruits and a touch of tannin structure. Best served chilled, this Pinot Grigio is the perfect companion for light seafood dishes, salads, or simply enjoyed on its own.
Maker
Pooley Wines, established in 1985 by Denis and Margaret Pooley, has grown from a retirement project into one of Tasmania’s most celebrated cool-climate wine producers. Situated on the banks of the Coal River, the family’s dedication to crafting exceptional wines is evident in every bottle. In 2003, John Pooley and his wife Libby expanded their holdings with the creation of the Butcher’s Hill vineyard. The business reached a new milestone when Margaret’s granddaughter, Anna Pooley, took the reins as winemaker in 2013, continuing the family legacy of producing wines that reflect their environment. Pooley Wines was honoured as Winery of the Year by the Halliday Wine Companion in 2023, a testament to the family’s unwavering commitment to quality.
Philosophy
Pooley Wines’ philosophy is simple: to create wines that genuinely express the land, climate, and vintage from which they come. With a focus on sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention in the winemaking process, Pooley Wines allows the natural character of the fruit to shine through. The family’s dedication to crafting wines that balance elegance, complexity, and innovation is at the core of their approach. By embracing the rhythm of the vineyard and working with the challenges each vintage presents, Pooley Wines produces wines that are both distinctive and timeless, a true reflection of Tasmania’s unique terroir.
