Chardonnay is a cornerstone of Pooley Wines, representing a premium Tasmanian expression from vineyards in the Coal River Valley. Our winemaking philosophy focuses on achieving a balance between depth of character, generosity, and a lean acid profile. Each vintage is crafted with careful attention, utilizing techniques like maturation on full lees and integrated oak, occasionally incorporating concrete vessels to layer traditional barrel-aged complexity with a modern, unwooded elegance. The resulting wine consistently offers an elegant and sophisticated profile that reflects the unique Tasmanian terroir.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: A precise lift of fresh lime zest, delicate white peach, and jasmine leads the bouquet. This primary intensity is layered with complex secondary notes of warm brioche, white floral blossom, and a distinct minerality marked by fresh salinity and the flinty character of wet stone derived from extended lees contacy.
Palate: The palate is immediately vibrant and focused, displaying a tightly coiled core of preserved apricot and subtle green melon notes. The partial malolactic conversion lends a luxurious, creamy density to the mid-palate, which is beautifully framed by bright, persistent, saline-like mineral-driven acidity.
Food 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.
