Three generations of the Pooley family have been involved in the development of Pooley Wines, although the winery was previously known as Cooinda Vale. Plantings have now reached over 12ha in a region that is warmer and drier than most people realise. In 2003 the family planted pinot noir and pinot grigio (with more recent plantings of pinot noir and chardonnay) at Belmont Vineyard, a heritage property with an 1830s Georgian home and a (second) cellar door in the old sandstone barn and stables.
Named after Pooleys Wines co-founder Margaret Pooley, this elegant Riesling is a great testament to the wine variety Margaret loved most. Aromas of apple blossom, jasmine and delicate citrus. A richer mouth texture with green apple acidity and a saline finish. Great balance and length of flavour. Will cellar for 15 years plus or just enjoy its freshness now.
Lift of white flowers, lime curd and wet stones. Good drive of acid keeps the palate flowing with bright lime cordial and touch of flint adding complexing layers. Epic line and length with perfect tension and balance 19 MAR 2020 Drink 2020–2030

Fruit from Cooinda Vale planted in '85 and the DNA stamp is clear. While it has a backbone of fine acidity charging like an electric current, it's the slate-like, lemon-pith texture that sets it apart. A beautifully composed wine ready for the taking, but will reward the patient.96 points Jane Faulkner winecompanion.com.au 1 August 2020
