Tasting Notes
This is an exquisite Single Vineyard Chardonnay from Anna Pooley and the whole Pooley team.
The Cooinda Vale fruit in this wine once formed an integral component of the famous Yattarna Chardonnay from Penfolds. Since 2016 Anna has kept the fruit separate in order to produce a single expression from this immaculate site. And it's a blinder.
Hand picked. Whole bunch pressed to tank. Cold settled for 1 day then racked to barrel. Wild fermentation. Mixture of barriques (225 litre) and puncheons (500 litre) of which 40% is new. Matured for 9 months in oak. No Malolactic. Minimal stirring. Subtle aromas of cardamom and pepperberry spice. Lemon/Lime zest and apple blossom. Palate is fine and restrained. Mineral chalkiness texture, mandarin, flint, lemon curd and pink grapefruit. Lacey acid. Bold but understated.
