What it tastes like.

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.

Incredible balance and harmony within this luscious dessert wine, lifted jasmine, honeysuckle and citrus blossom are accompanied by caramelised apricot and lime peel on the nose. Lively aromas of lime, orange pith and almond await you on the palate.

About Pooley.

Tasmania (Coal River Valley) ·Est. 1985

Pooley Wines is a three-generation family estate in the Coal River Valley of southern Tasmania, founded in 1985 when Denis and Margaret Pooley planted Riesling and Pinot Noir on their 16-hectare farm at Cooinda Vale, near Richmond. Their first vintage was 1989. Son John and his wife Libby expanded the operation with the Belmont property and the Butcher's Hill vineyard; third-generation siblings Matt (viticulture) and Anna (winemaking) now run the estate. Pooley is recognised as Tasmania's first three-generation wine family.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Pooley

Tasmania (Coal River Valley)

Denis and Margaret Pooley planted Pooley's first vines in 1985 — ten rows of Riesling and seven of Pinot Noir on a 16-hectare farm at Cooinda Vale, in southern Tasmania's Coal River Valley near Richmond. The decision was a long-fuse retirement project: Denis had founded the Hobart Beefsteak and Burgundy Club in 1954, two years after the couple emigrated from England, and the vineyard was the family's slow turn from amateur enthusiast to wine producer. The first commercial vintage was 1989.

Their son John and his wife Libby joined the operation through the 1990s, expanding the estate with the purchase of Belmont in Richmond and the planting of a second vineyard, Butcher's Hill, on Belmont's sheltered slopes. The third generation — siblings Matt Pooley as viticulturist and Anna Pooley as winemaker — now run the estate, making Pooley Tasmania's first three-generation wine family. The Coal River Valley terroir defines the wines: cool-climate continental, schist-based soils, low rainfall, and sustained ripening windows that suit Riesling, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer above other varieties.

The wine range tiers across three vineyards — Cooinda Vale (the original site), Butcher's Hill (Belmont site, more sheltered), and the bespoke Jack Denis and Margaret Pooley Tribute single-block expressions named for the founders. The Riesling line covers a standard Pooley Riesling, the single-vineyard Cooinda Vale and Butcher's Hill expressions, the Margaret Pooley Tribute, and a late-harvest Cane Cut. Pinot Noir parallels the same vineyard tiers; Syrah (including the JRD reserve), Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Grigio round out the white-and-red lineup.
