[SOLD-OUT] Pooley Cooinda Vale Pinot Noir 2022

 

"A wondrous display of fragrance with stewed fruits, liquorice and charred wood and subtle spice characters. The palate offers great intensity with red currants, sour raspberry and white pepper. The oak and tannin integrate seamlessly into a silky finish.

Cooinda Vale Vineyard was established in 1985 by Pooley’s founders, Margaret and Dennis Pooley. Sitting between 80-100m above sea level, the vineyard is tucked away in a nook of hills North of Campania making it much more protected from prevailing weather conditions. Being more continental it also experiences greater extremes in temperatures bringing more frequent frosts, snow and heat waves. The iron lacking grey brown sandy loam over clay subsoils at this site tend to bring a moderate level of struggle to the vines by restricting deep root growth and water accessibility but in turn creates a wine that is more delicate and finer.

Wild fermentation (10% whole bunch blended from Oronsay ferment) for 16 days with 7 days post-ferment maceration. Matured in 30% new French oak barriques (Cavin & St Martin – Fine grain, 36 months seasoning, medium toast) for 11 months." - Pooley
