Pooley Butcher’s Hill Cane Cut Riesling 2024 375ml

Description

Product Description: Pooley Butcher’s Hill Cane Cut Riesling 2024 is a beautifully concentrated dessert wine that showcases the precision and craftsmanship of Tasmania’s Coal River Valley. Sourced from the elevated Butcher’s Hill Vineyard, the fruit benefits from long, cool ripening conditions that preserve piercing natural acidity while allowing flavours to develop remarkable purity. The canes were cut late in the season to naturally dehydrate the grapes on the vine, intensifying sugars, aromatics, and phenolic texture without relying on botrytis. Hand-picking ensures only the cleanest, most flavour-rich bunches are selected, highlighting Pooley’s meticulous approach to sweet-wine production. In the winery, the juice undergoes a unique multi-stage pressing and skin-contact process that further amplifies concentration and depth. The wine is then matured on fine lees for several months, adding subtle weight and roundness while maintaining tension and drive. The 2024 release is known for its luminous clarity, combining sweetness with refreshing acidity, resulting in a dessert style that is expressive yet elegantly restrained. It captures the cool-climate hallmark of Pooley: wines built on balance, finesse, and vineyard expression rather than overt richness.

A fine bottling … balances power and restraint.” — James Suckling, 98 points The weight of the palate here feels special … it tastes of stones, bath salts, florals and citrus, a gunmetal aspect lurking within. The purity of the fruit here, and the power of it … the chalky, stony impression of the finish … superb release.” — Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, 96 points Finer Details:Style – White WineVarietal – RieslingCountry – AustraliaRegion – TasmaniaVintage – 2024Bottle Size – 375 mlABV – 12.3%
