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.

From 20 year old vines grown at our Cooinda Vale vineyard in Campania. Hints of spice sit delicately atop a vibrant and red fruit spectrum. The palate is layered with energetic fruit, minerality, spice and perfectly pitched acidity. Fine tannin provides the foundation for the wine to build over time. A small amount of stems included in the ferments provides another element of structure which bodes well for a long and rewarding life ahead.
