      Bright, structured, and unapologetically Tasmanian—Butcher’s Hill delivers Chardonnay with nerve and nuance.

      The 2024 Pooley Butcher’s Hill Chardonnay is a commanding cool-climate white from a steep, iron-rich slope in the Coal River Valley. A warmer growing season in 2024 produced pristine fruit with natural concentration and drive, resulting in a Chardonnay that is both textural and tightly wound. Under the hand of Anna Pooley, this is a wine that walks the line between richness and restraint—offering bold fruit backed by clean acid and saline precision.

      Hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed, the juice was wild fermented in 40% new Sirugue French oak before spending 11 months on lees, with 50% malolactic fermentation adding roundness. The result is a Chardonnay with complexity from start to finish—lime curd, stone fruits, roasted almond and spice, all stitched together by a taut mineral line. It’s more muscular than its Cooinda Vale sibling, but every element is proportioned, deliberate, and expressive of site.

      Drink now with roast chicken or aged Comté, or cellar for 5–10 years as the texture deepens and spice integrates.

      Pooley Butcher’s Hill Chardonnay 2024

      Pink grapefruit, lemon oil, aniseed, cashew and cedar, a chamomile perfume and white peach. It’s gently chalky in texture, a little nutty and umami, biscuit spice oak, balanced acidity, with some grilled nuts and a saline finish of excellent length. Lovely wine. Fine and distinctive. Yum. Touch and go for 96 points really.
