Poole's Rock Vineyard was founded in 1988 in the Broke Fordwich district of the Hunter Valley by businessman David Clarke. Located thirty kilometres west of the main Hunter vineyard region, the original 32 hectare property is named after the monolith on its southern boundary, which in turn takes its name from a prominent local character who lived in the area over 100 years ago.

The site, which has similar soils and microclimate, effectively doubled the total vineyard area. Today there is a total of fourteen hectares under vine on this vineyard planted to chardonnay and verdelho. Made entirely from estate grown grapes, Poole's Rock Chardonnay is an elegant wine with a richly textured palate. It is crafted from grapes grown on the estate vineyard and fermented in Vosges oak barriques from several of France's premier cooperages.

Details

Further Information: The wine undergoes partial malolactic fermentation, while components of the overall blend are kept on yeast lees. This adds an appealing creamy complexity to the wine which is of medium weight and typically exhibits restrained, ripe tropical fruit and citrus aromas.
Facilities: ROCK Restaurant and Firestick Café will provide a new standard of dining in the Hunter Valley. Australia's oldest wine region and one of its most popular recreational and visitor destinations eagerly awaits the opening of a new dining landmark - ROCK Restaurant - located on the Poole's Rock Wines estate in Pokolbin. "ROCK" aim is to become one of Australia's dining benchmarks.
