2025 Pooley Pinot Noir

Pooley is currently on an incredible run, and their regional Pinot Noir remains one of the most reliable benchmarks for Tasmanian Pinot. 

This 2025 release draws primarily from the family’s Coal River Valley sites - Cooinda Vale and Butcher’s Hill - supplemented by fruit from the Tamar Valley. It’s a blend designed to capture the broader Tasmanian story.  

The winemaking under Anna Pooley is all about balance and persistence. Using a mix of premium clones like Pommard, Abel, and 115, the fruit is handled gently with a focus on seamless tannin extraction. Eight months in a mix of French oak barriques and puncheons builds a subtle, savoury complexity without ever crowding the fruit.  

It’s light on its feet but carries impressive depth. You get classic, generous red and dark fruit characters supported by fine, supple tannins and a brilliant line of acidity. It’s a polished, persistent Pinot that feels completely poised, offering immediate drinkability while having the structure to evolve beautifully over the next few years.
