The Coal River Valley, home to Pooley Wines, boasts a historic river plain with diverse alluvial soils, including mudstone, sandstone, sandstones, shales, coal measures and dolerite injections. The Butchers Hill vineyard benefits from basalt sediments and ferricrete deposits, while the Cooinda Vale vineyard features shallow, sandy soils. The region experiences a unique climate, influenced by both the Southern Ocean and continental factors. With lower rainfall and interaction with surrounding bodies of water, the Coal River Valley exhibits more extreme temperatures and distinct seasons. The Butchers Hill vineyard, situated on a steep north-facing slope, enjoys ample sunlight, protection from cold winds and excellent soil drainage.
