WINEMAKER: Tim, Al, Ed & Darcy
REGION: VIC
VARIETY: Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Chardonnay

An energy-filled white blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and skinsy Chardonnay. Tropical fruit notes of the Sauvignon are mellowed by the Semillon which gives length and body with the skinsy Chardonnay adding bitterness and texture. The perfect wine to be shared with friends on a warm spring day. No sulphur or any additives like the rest of our wines.
• 50% Sauvignon Blanc from Sutherlands Creek, Direct Pressed fermented and elevage in seasoned barriques
• 30% Semillon from Sutherlands Creek, Direct Pressed fermented and elevage in seasoned barriques
• 20% Chardonnay from Barmera SA, 2 weeks on skins before pressing to seasoned barriques
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.
