| Community Tasting Notes | | | Tasted by graemeg on 5/28/2023: Real Review Top Wineries tasting (Ovolo Hotel Woolloomooloo): {12.5%, screwcap, $45} Fragrant youthful musk aromas. Crisp and floral on the palate. Dry, with medium/high acidity, only light/medium in weight, but good presence and a medium length dry finish. Nice wine, but verging on overpriced.

Juicy acid, fresh fruit, apple with a slight stone fruit underpin. Good (663 views) |

Pooley Wines: Coal River, TAS
Pooley Wines has an historical property and two separate vineyards in 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.
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.
In 2003, John Pooley, son of Denis and Margaret, and his wife Libby bought Belmont Lodge, a heritage-listed Georgian home on the outskirts of Richmond. They have been lovingly renovating this second Pooley Wines Coal River Valley property, and have planted vines on nearby Butchers Hill. In 2007 the first vintage of Pinot was produced
Cooinda Vale (Campania)
Established in 1985, 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 Grigio, Ries-ling and Chardonnay. The soils are Brown-Black dermosol subsoil, high in acid (associated with alluvial plains and river terraces) over decaying sandstone, with friable clay subsoil. Because of the sloping aspect, the drainage is excellent.
Belmont Vineyard (Richmond)
A new vineyard has been established on the Belmont Estate, planted in 2003, allowing us to expand production of our quality wines.The block is on the side of Butchers Hill facing north and captures the sun all day. The soils are well drained dolomite with limestone underlayer, high in pH.Riesling Varietal character (Appellation America) | A short history of Riesling (Uncork) | Riesling (wikipedia)Australia Wine Australia (Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation) | Australian Wines (Wikipedia)Tasmania Tasmania (Wine Industry Tasmania) |
