2024 Pooley Riesling, Coal River Valley

A single vineyard Riesling from the Campania vineyard established in 1985.

The nose is vibrant and aromatic, with pronounced notes of freshly squeezed lime, lemon zest, and a hint of green apple. Subtle floral nuances, particularly jasmine and white blossoms, add an elegant complexity. There's also a distinct mineral undertone reminiscent of wet slate.

On the palate, this Riesling is crisp and refreshing. The citrus notes continue to dominate, with lime and lemon leading the charge, followed by a touch of grapefruit. The mid-palate reveals a slight sweetness balanced by racy acidity, giving the wine a lively, zesty character. The minerality from the nose carries through, adding depth and structure.
