**WINERY OF THE YEAR 2023 – HALLIDAY’S AUSTRALIAN WINE COMPANION 2023 **
“The trajectory of ascension of their wines has been nothing short of breathtaking, with quality rising emphatically with every season…”
Tyson Stelzer for 2023 Halliday Wine Companion.
Pooley Wines has an historical property and two separate vineyards in the Coal River Valley in southern Tasmania. The Coal River Valley has developed a worldwide reputation, and is ideally suited, for the production of cool-climate wines such as Pinot Noir, Riesling and Chardonnay. Members of the Pooley family have been actively involved in the business for three generations. Their longstanding passion and commitment to fine wine are your assurance of un-compromising quality.
Pooley Wines was established in 1985 when the late Denis and Margaret Pooley planted ten rows of Riesling and seven rows of Pinot Noir on their 16-hectare farm at Cooinda Vale in the Coal River Valley in southern Tasmania. In 2003, John Pooley, son of Denis and Margaret, and his wife Libby bought Belmont Lodge, a heritage-listed Georgian home on the outskirts of Richmond. They have been lovingly renovating this second Pooley Wines Coal River Valley property, and have planted vines on nearby Butchers Hill. In 2007 the first vintage of Pinot was produced.
As well as this year’s Winery of the Year accolade, they have 5 Red Stars from James Halliday and Tasmania’s Winery and Pinot Noir Producer of the Year in 2012, Pooley is also Tasmania’s first and only fully accredited Environmentally Certified Sustainable Vineyard in Tasmania.

“Bright notes of fresh raspberry, cherries and black pepper on the nose with an underlying layer of mineral and cacao. On the palate, it’s persistent with generous red fruits, cedar, subtle game, and a dusting of aniseed. It’s delicately balanced with fine tannin and brilliant acidity.” Anna Pooley, Winemaker.
