Pooley 'Cooinda Vale' Pinot Noir 2022
"Another stunning release from the Cooinda Vale vineyard, near Campania, for Pooley Wines; 10% whole bunches and matured in French oak (30% new) for 10 months. It's a captivating wine. Blood orange, dark and red cherry with wild strawberry top notes. The spice tones are exotic and gentle amaro herbs waft in and out of the drinker's line of sight. Hints of wildflowers, game, sous bois, Chinese five-spice, dried citrus rind and earth. Elegant and spacious in the mouth, pillowy fine tannins settling on the fruit, acidity sapid and lending a subtle umami facet as the wine slowly unwinds. It's nuanced, graceful and enthralling." - Dave Brookes, Halliday 98 Point

The critically acclaimed boutique Tasmanian producer is now under the ownership of its third generation of the Pooley family. Anne Pooley is the talented head winemaker, while her brother, Mathew Pooley, acts as their brand ambassador, sharing the wine and their story with the world. Their grandparents, Denis and Margaret, planted vines on their family farm as a hobby back in 1985, and this has since grown into a thriving family business. Pooley has always had an excellent reputation for making high-quality cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay; however, recently, Pooley won Halliday Australia Winery of the Year 2023, which solidified Pooley as one of the 'great' Australian producers to watch.
