Aroma

The nose is dominated by lime curd, crunchy stone fruits, cumquat, fennel fronds, and lemon grass, with hints of cumin, coriander, and roasted almond.

Palette

The palate is an explosion of pink lady apple, nectarine, and white peach, rounded out with notes of honey and freshly torched Crème Brûlée. The finish offers kaffir lime, candied citrus peel, and toasted almond, all driven by steely acidity.

Pairings

This elegant Chardonnay pairs beautifully with dishes that complement its creamy texture and bright, saline acidity.
Seafood: Pan-seared scallops or grilled white fish (like John Dory or Flathead) served with a lemon-butter or beurre blanc sauce.
Poultry: Classic dishes featuring rich sauces, such as Chicken à la Crème or a delicate Chicken Roulade stuffed with herbs.

Wine Making

The Butcher’s Hill Chardonnay is a leading expression of Pooley Wines’ commitment to world-class, single-vineyard Tasmanian wine. Born from the steep, north-facing slopes of the historic Richmond site, the vineyard’s unique Dolerite soils provide the intense structural foundation that defines this Chardonnay.

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.

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.
