Bubb and Pooley Riesling 2024
$45.00
‘Back to more “normal” vintage conditions with warm days and rapid ripening. Sourced from two vineyards in the Coal River Valley. Hand harvested, whole bunch pressed, fermented with yeast to dryness minimal time on yeast lees. Fermented in stainless steel. A very classic take on riesling from the Valley in a warmer year. High acidity and dryness marries well with the fruit sweetness giving the wine roundness and length.’ Anna Pooley.
100 % Coal River Riesling coming from the Winen Vineyard on White Kangaroo Rd (near the home vineyard for B+P) and from the limestone-based Mapleton Vineyard on Middle Tea Tree Rd and also Clemens closer to Richmond. The season was characterised by the El Nino weather patters – a shift from the previous 3 years cooler seasons. Picked two weeks early. Whole bunch pressed. Inoculated with neutral yeast. Fermentation left to go through to approx 1.5g residual. Minimal time on lees. No time in concrete because it was already soft from the fruit weight and fruit sweetness. We see this as balanced. A riper year so softer on the palate. Unfined as we love the “rawness”. 13.2 % Alc/Vol; 1.5 g/L RS; 2.94 pH.
Tasmanian Riesling at its best – bold, juicy and bright!
Producer Profile
Bubb + Pooley is a new wine venture created by the husband and wife winemaking team of Justin Bubb and Anna Pooley. Their first and subsequent releases were produced from purchased fruit sourced from carefully selected vineyards in the Coal River Valley and the East Coast of Tasmania.
Sustainability and minimal impact underpin the approach at Bubb + Pooley – the fruit is hand-picked and there is minimal added sulphur to facilitate wild-yeast ferments and natural malolactic conversions. The wines are fermented in hand-crafted concrete vessels specifically designed to enhance the varietal.
All wines are bottle unfined and so are vegan suitable.

Hofgut Falkenstein Niedermenniger Riesling Kabinett ‘Feinherb’ 2020
$60.00Out of Stock
Intense and full of character with notes of white flowers, stone fruits, citrus, spice, cherry and blackcurrant. Intense and full of presence, but with a lightness of touch. The spice is more elevated on the palate (clove) and although off-dry, feels drier for all that. Scintillating and mineral as you so often find with Falkenstein, […]

There is so much hidden here, so much pleasure to come. […]
