2024 POOL SCALLOP

WINEMAKER: Tim, Al, Ed & Darcy
REGION: Heathcote, VIC
VARIETY: Vermentino
VITICULTURE: Sustainable

Lightly salty and oceanic. Lime tart and pink grapefruit. It leaves you with 'wet mouth' that feeling of wanting another mouthful. The good 'wet mouth' not the bad one. This one has the same Vermentino that we have used before in GOLD and HYPERGOLD, and it has some little notes of those ancestors in there for anyone who can remember them.

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.
