Pooley Wines was established in 1985 when the late Denis and Margaret Pooley planted ten rows of Riesling and seven rows of Pinot Noir on their 16-hectare farm at Cooinda Vale in the Coal River Valley in southern Tasmania. Today, after more than 20 years of producing premium quality cool-climate wines, and having been awarded numerous trophies and medals at prestigious wine shows, the Pooley family has established a second vineyard in the Coal River Valley at Richmond. Margaret Pooley remained the chief executive of Cooinda Vale Vineyard until well into her nineties. She was a hardy Scot and could be found tending vines during the coldest Tasmanian winters.

Crafted from hand-picked fruit with meticulous, cool-climate vinification, the wine is aged in fine-grained French oak. This methodical approach yields a Chardonnay of rare elegance, crystalline purity, and inherent balance. It is a powerful, sophisticated expression of place, designed for both immediate pleasure and long-term cellaring.
