The 2019 vintage benefited from favorable conditions in Tasmania, with sufficient rainfall contributing to the grapes' development.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Pooley Cooinda Vale Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2019 begins with whole bunch pressing, followed by fermentation using indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged for 9 months in French oak barriques and puncheons, with 40% new oak. Notably, malolactic fermentation is avoided for this vintage. The vineyard is managed using biological and regenerative agricultural practices.
