Tasting Notes
On the easier drinking end of the white wine spectrum yet shows lovely perfume of white flowers and green stone fruit like so many Pinot Blanc around the world. Good balance on the palate with a soft, mellowed texture. - Chris L
Clarence House Estate is a distinguished cool-climate winery located just north of Hobart, nestled in the foothills of the Meehan Ranges at Clarence Plains (near the Coal River). The estate began planting vines in 1998 on a northeast-facing slope that captures early morning sun while avoiding harsh afternoon heat, creating ideal conditions for balanced ripening.
Over time, the vineyard has grown to around 12–16 hectares and supports a diverse mix of varieties including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Tempranillo. The fruit is now vinified under the Clarence House label, which is structured across three tiers—Clarence Plains, Clarence House Estate, and Clarence House Reserve—each expressing increasing depth and barrel selection. The Reserve bottlings are meticulously crafted from the best barrels and often see extended oak maturation.
Winemaking is entrusted to Anna Pooley and Justin Bubb of Pooley Wines in nearby Cambridge. Their approach is gentle and rooted in elegance—hand-harvested fruit, low-input farming, thoughtful use of oak, and a focus on freshness and subtlety. The result is a range of wines defined by delicate aromatics, graceful structure, and old-world poise—all clearly born of Tasmanian terroir.
