Fruit was handpicked except for Block 10. Most ferments were 100% destemmed fruit but a 100% whole bunch ferment was carried out on Abel clone. 15% of this was used in the final blend. Fermentation was carried out for 15-25 days with gentle extraction through modest pumper regime. Ferment was inoculated with XR Grand Rouge. The wine was matured for 11 months in French oak barriques of which 30% were new. Barrels used were CAVIN and St Martin. No fining but filtered.
Classic Cooinda Vale, elegant, poised and precise. Delightful aromas of cherry ripe and caraway precede soft raspberry jube and fennel on the palate, with orange citrus, grapefruit pith on the lingering finish.
Winemaker Notes
Critic Reviews
96 Points - Dave Brookes, Wine Companion
“Sourced from the outstanding Cooinda Vale vineyard in Campania, Coal River Valley; 15% whole bunch, 11 months' maturation in French oak, 30% new. Bright ruby with aromas of red cherry, redcurrant and red plum cut with hints of fine spice, amaro, crushed rock, leaf litter, char siu, game meats, distant truffle and earth. The Pooley wines are so beautifully composed and calm. There is a real sense of grace on the palate, its travel long, true and balanced, its drinkability and elegance undisputed.”
