Pooley Margaret Pooley Tribute Riesling 2023, Tasmania, AUD $95
The Cooinda Vale Vineyard was established in 1985 by Pooley’s founders, Margaret and Dennis Pooley.
Very pale lemon with lime tints at the core to an almost water-white rim. Subtle nose of lemon curd and night jasmine aromatics. Intense, linear and incredibly focused on the palate. It’s built around lemon and lime fruit but the driving force is its tension and unabashed power. Acidity is everywhere but remains in control, sweetness a deft counterbalance to the acid so everything sings in tune and the length is prodigious. As it lingers, a note of the sea adds a further level of intrigue. Built for the long haul. (Screwcap)
