2024 POOL VERDE
WINEMAKER: Tim, Al, Ed & Darcy
REGION: Sutherlands Creek, VIC
VARIETY: Semillon
VITICULTURE: Sustainable
Our (piss)take on vinho verde, it's 100% Semillon picked and bottled early to get that fresh, saline goodness. Pairs well with all things oceanic - oysters mignonette, beachside fish and chips, pasta alle vongole, Chappys dill pickle chips (not oceanic but brine-adjacent). Its affordable, light, refreshing and it has a bright green label, c'mon.
POOL is Tim, Al, Ed & Darcy. It is also everyone that helps us with advice, helps us pick fruit, helps us bottle and drinks our wine. We are based on Taungurung Country, in Kyneton. POOL had its first vintage in 2019 using half a tonne of local Shiraz. We learnt a lot. As we continue to learn we continue to expand and grow our repertoire with each season. We work with growers and vineyards local to the region to source grapes that have been grown in a way that is responsible to the land – reducing the use of sprays and interference and then hand-picking with our friends whenever we can. In the winery we use no additives of any kind, we don’t fine or filter and prefer to use people power and low intervention methods wherever possible.
