BUBB AND POOLEY RIESLING 2024

Style: Dry & Racy

We have each been making wine across the globe for over 20 years. After living and working in Tasmania and making wine for a number of premium vineyards throughout the state, the time has come for us to release our own wines. We continue to work with our existing clients, so at this point in time you might say its a side hustle and an opportunity to work with some exceptional vineyards and vignerons across the state and produce wines that connect with our philosophy of making wine from the ground up. All of our decisions are focussed on how we can do things better in order to minimise our impact on the environment. Sustainability threads through and underpins our approach to everything we do. The use of concrete vessels is no experiment either - its a style of vessel that has been traditionally used for centuries in the Old World. We have chosen each shape specifically to enhance the texture of the varietal within them and these beautiful, hand crafted vessels will last lifetimes. Justin Bubb and Anna Pooley, January 2022.

Coal River Riesling coming from the Winen Vineyard on White Kangaroo Rd (near the home vineyard for B+P) and from the limestone-based Mapleton Vineyard on Middle Tea Tree Rd and also Clemens closer to Richmond. The season was characterised by the El Nino weather patters - a shift from the previous 3 years cooler seasons. Picked two weeks early.  Whole bunch pressed. Inoculated with neutral yeast. Fermentation left to go through to approx 1.5g residual. Minimal time on lees. No time in concrete because it was already soft from the fruit weight and fruit sweetness. We see this as balanced. A riper year so softer on the palate. Unfined as we love the rawness.
