$60.00

Pooley's Coal River Valley Syrah is fragrant, balanced, and full of cool-climate character. Red currant, blackberry, and white pepper on the nose, with red cherry, raspberry, and cinnamon bark on the palate. As it opens up, confectionary raspberry and smoked charcuterie emerge adding depth and nuance that keeps you coming back. Fine tannins and a lingering finish make this one of the most elegant Syrahs in the state. Pair with grilled lamb, duck, or hearty winter dishes. Drink now through 2030.

Aroma

Red currant, blackberry, and white pepper.

Palette

Red cherry, raspberry, cinnamon bark, with subtle notes of confectionary raspberry and smoked charcuterie.

Pairings

This expressive Syrah would pair wonderfully with rich, savoury dishes. Its fruit and spice notes make it an ideal match for slow-roasted lamb or braised beef. The gentle tannins also work well with hard cheeses like aged cheddar, or with roasted root vegetables.

Wine Making

Fruit was handpicked. 100% destemmed. 20 days on skins inoculated with XR yeast. Matured for 11 months in French oak puncheons (500 litres) of which 30% was new. Cooperages of barrel were Francois Freres and Vallaurine.

Meet the owners

Pooley Wines has been a Coal River Valley institution since 1985, when Denis and Margaret Pooley planted the first vines at Cooinda Vale. Three generations on, the family now farms two sites, Cooinda Vale and the heritage-listed Butcher's Hill at Richmond, and has built a reputation as one of the finest producers of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling in the country. Anna Pooley, granddaughter of the founders, now leads winemaking alongside her husband Justin Bubb, carrying forward a family story built on patience, place and three generations of care.

Coal River Valley

About the region

Tucked into the valleys surrounding the historic town of Richmond, the Coal River Valley is Tasmania's sunniest wine region. Low rainfall, abundant sunshine and cooling breezes off the Tasman Sea come together to create conditions that are about as close to perfect as it gets for grape growing. It shows in the wines: Chardonnay with real texture and depth, Pinot Noir with elegance and structure, Riesling with precision, and sparkling wines that hold their own against the best in the world.
