John and Matthew Pooley celebrating Tasmanian Vineyard of the year 2012 award

POOLEY WINES has an historical property and two separate vineyards in the Coal River Valley in southern Tasmania. The Coal River Valley has developed a worldwide reputation, and is ideally suited, for the production of cool-climate wines such as Pinot, Riesling and Chardonnay.

Multi award winning Pooley Wines are available through our cellar door at the historic Belmont Lodge at Richmond, by mail order through this web site, or from selected suppliers.

Members of the Pooley family have been actively involved in the business for three generations. Their longstanding passion and commitment to fine wine are your assurance of uncompromising quality.
