Pooley was established in 1985 when the family planted 10 rows of Riesling & 7 rows of Pinot Noir on their property at Coal River in Southern Tasmania. This wine comes off those first planted Riesling vines. Such an enticing wine from the first sniff; jasmine, grapefruit & white flowers on the nose, while the palate reveals lavender, lime zest, green apple & fennel. Seductive stuff. The Cooinda Vale vineyard is ideally positioned facing northeast overlooking the Coal River in southern Tasmania. On the 43.5 Latitude line, the vineyard is planted on northeast facing slopes at 130m above sea level. This is a unique microclimatic location, being well protected from prevailing winds but still highly influenced by maritime conditions. The long growing season, which can extend into May, with high sunshine hours, predominately winter rainfall and the occasional frost and snow, combine to provide an excellent condition for cool climate grape varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Chardonnay. Initially the nose is a little shy with fresh notes of citrus peel and blossom. The palate is typical Cooinda Vale, refined and elegant with lemon sherbet, cumquat and marmalade. Strong acid profile with a persistent finish.

Grown on the north facing bank of the Derwent River, the grapes used to produce this outstanding Powerhouse Chardonnay are from decades old cool climate vineyard, widely recognised for producing some of the best Chardonnay fruit in Australia. Grapes are picked early in the flavour spectrum to maintain finesse. Straw in colour, pure delicate fruits are supported by stuble French oak.use and chalky phenolics which are carried by fine acid line. Malolactic fermentation allows the round fullness of lactic acid to fill out the back palate leaving a creamy mouthfeel. White peach, nutmeg/spice and butterscotch on the nose with white peach, citrus fruits, oatmeal on the palate. This wine can be cellared for 15 years and pairs well with seafood, chicken, pasta and risotto dishes.

The grapes used to produce The Powerhouse Riesling were hand-picked from the vineyards nestled on the river banks of Hobart, Tasmania. With the first Riesling vines planted in 1992, the grapes used to produce this outstanding Roesling were hand picked on four seperate picking days for different flavour profilies. Dry in style and pale straw colour, the bouquet displays aromatics tones of mandarin, lime and honeysuckle. The palate exhibitis citrus, sherbet and chalky phenolics with a bright acid finish, this wine is a perfect balance between acid and fruit. It can be cellared for up to 20 years and matches well with delicate fish, chicken or Asian dishes. Vegan friendly.

A co-ferment amber wine of Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, 100% skins, 100% old oak, 100% natural. Summer in a glass!

Exotic and expansive Tasmanian Riesling with oodles of tropical fruit and bracing acidity.

Slight lift on the nose from barrel fermentation and long lees contact; a fitting compliment to the primary fruit by way of strawberry and fresh berry compote. There is a tenderness to this year's wine, the silky tannin-structure is first-rate with just enough back palate weight, by way of stalk use and light French oak, to hold its length. Meadowbank's Riesling vines, mostly Geisenheim 198 clone, were planted in 2005 and, since the arrival of Peter Dredge in 2016, have surely never been put to better use. From 2017 Dredge has rolled out organic practices across all the estate's vineyards allocated for the rebooted Meadowbank label. From the estate's sandy north-facing slopes overlying dark brown coffee rock, this spine-tingling Riesling was hand-picked, whole cluster pressed and naturally fermented in a mix of neutral oak (30%) and stainless tank. Both parcels were matured on their lees for five months before blending and bottling without fining. It's an incisively fresh Riesling offering Tassie Riesling's typical mix of fresh green apple and citrus and an acid spine seamlessly balanced by 8 g/L residual sugar. Meadowbank was first planted in 1974 prior to the purchase of the estate by Gerald and Sue Ellis in 1976. The initial plantings were small, but the business was enthusiastically grown by Gerald into the premium offering that is seen today. Partnering with friend and winemaker Peter Dredge, the next chapter is now being written. Meadowbank is the purest realisation of what our vineyard and Tasmania can offer. Located in the verdant Coal River Valley, north of Hobart in Tasmania, Meadowbank has two estate vineyards spanning over 50 hectares. The primary vineyard sites are at Cambridge and Glenora. Modern winemaking influence is obvious in these well packaged, cleanly made wines. Reflecting their cool climate origins, the winemaking team pick at physiological ripeness to elicit the most natural expression of their fruit.

Pooley Wines has an historical property and two separate vineyards at each end of the Coal River Valley in southern Tasmania. The Coal River Valley has developed a worldwide reputation, and is ideally suited, for the production of cool-climate wines such as Pinot Noir, Riesling and Chardonnay. Members of the Pooley family have been actively involved in the business for three generations. Their longstanding passion and commitment to fine wine are your assurance of un-compromising quality. The first sweet Riesling to be made from the Butchers Hill vineyard at Richmond, adjacent to the cellar door. The fruit was handpicked in the early hours of the morning. The fruit was whole bunch pressed with juice then returned onto skins and soaked overnight. An inoculated ferment (PDM strain) for a total of 15 days with 5 months maturation on fine lees in stainless steel prior to bottling.

Clemens Hill was founded over 20 years ago in a remarkable setting within the bucolic Coal River Valley. The wines of Clemens Hill are and will always be, an expression of the whims of nature inexorably bound to the wisdom of winemaking. Indeed, the pursuit of a vinous expression of place takes precedence over the pursuit of accolades, but perhaps as a result of that philosophy, over time the wines have become festooned with prizes and accolades. Clemens Hill vineyard nestles into the north-east facing slopes of the ancient glacial carving that is the Coal River Valley. It sits just 75m above sea level and is cooled by maritime valley breezes while capturing the bright crystalline sun. It enjoys both shelter and exposure. Rainfall is a capricious 500mm per annum, so it is supplemented with irrigation in times of stress. Loaded with citrus, melon and subtle gingery spice on the nose. Persistent long and lingering citrus flavours – grapefruit, lime, lemon, orange zest – but with a softness seldom seen in youthful Riesling.
