Description

The Pooley Riesling is a beautiful example of the delicacy of Tasmanian aromatic wines.

Winemaker Anna Pooley has a light touch in the winery, every effort is made to preserve the purity of the Riesling fruit from the family-owned vineyard. There's a suppleness and extension of flavour here which is seriously impressive.

Tantalisingly floral and utterly refreshing to drink - this is a cracking wine either now or with a few years in the cellar. Anna Pooley nailing yet another release.

"Pale straw in the glass with aromas of grapefruit, green apple and citrus with hints of pressed wildflowers, crushed stone, clover blossom, ozone, crème fraîche and distant mountain herbs. Taut and vivid with a satisfying citrus flow and steely, mineral velocity, finishing sleek, dry and focused."
- Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

"Brilliant, intense lemon aroma, fresh as a daisy. The palate is likewise tremendously intense, fresh and bright with great energy and penetrating length. Crisp dry balance and terrific palate length, driven by piercing acidity. Long-term potential."

    Yummy Riesling

    Fresh limes and juicy melons. Arrestingly delicious

Vintage:
Due to an unusually warm winter, 2024 growing season started 3 weeks earlier than expected. This lead to a busy end of winter for the vineyard team who did a great job getting the vines ready for the season ahead. The warmer temperatures and reduced but steady rainfall through the growing period was a contrast to V23, these optimal conditions lead to beautiful, high quality grapes. Harvesting commenced at Butcher’s Hill in early March with the House Block Pinot Noirs, and concluded with the Cordon Cut Riesling at Butcher’s Hill. Exceptional quality fruit and no pest or disease presence lead us to expect great things from the 2024 season.

Winemaking:
A blend of Cooinda Vale, Butcher’s Hill and select parcels from the Coal River Valley. Fruit was handpicked and cooled overnight to 5 degrees. fruit was then whole bunch pressed to tank. fermented in stainless steel and juice inoculated with TXL strain yeast. brief maturation on fine less prior to bottling

Tasting Notes:
Opening with candied orange zest and mandarin the clean acidity revitalises the palate and clears the way for lime cordial, apple sherbet, dry honeysuckle and white jasmine to finish off this outstanding cool-climate riesling.

Pooley

Pooley is one of the leading family-owned wineries in Tasmania, renowned for their exquisite Single Vineyard examples of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling from the Coal River region, less than an hour north of Hobart.

The family vineyard was planted in 1985 by Margaret and Denis Pooley. Today it is in the hands of the third generation of Pooleys, with award-winning winemaker Anna Pooley heading up the cellar and her brother Matt as viticulturalist. They make a killer team and the family business is going from strength to strength.

Anna's wines are pure, refined and eminently cellar-worthy. A class-act producer setting a cracking pace for all of Tasmania to follow.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
