2025 Pooley Butcher's Hill Pinot Noir

The 2025 Pooley Butcher’s Hill Pinot Noir is a single-vineyard expression from the steep, north-facing slopes of the family’s historic Richmond property in Tasmania’s Coal River Valley. It opens with high-toned aromas of candied cherry, raspberry and blueberry, complemented by wild violet, anise, white pepper and subtle savoury spice.

On the palate, it is elegant and finely textured, with bright berry fruit, fresh acidity and lean, precise tannins. Thirty percent whole-bunch fermentation contributes fragrance and gentle spice, while restrained French oak adds depth without masking the purity of the fruit. The finish is long, lifted and beautifully balanced.

Ben’s Recommendation:

At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who appreciate refined, site-driven Tasmanian Pinot Noir with both immediate perfume and long-term potential. Enjoy now after brief decanting or cellar until 2040 and beyond. Ideal with roast duck, pork, game birds, mushroom dishes or grilled salmon.
