Clarence House was built in 1830 at Clarence Plains, Mt Rumney, just north of Hobart in Southern Tasmania. The beautiful Georgian house built around 1830 remains and has been maintained in its original splendour surrounded by beautiful gardens, and in 1998 present owner David Kilpatrick began planting vines on an impressive and ideally positioned north east sloping block opposite the house.
In 2014 a small batch of Pinot Noir from the oldest vines was vinified by Anna Pooley at Pooley Wines who are located just a few minutes north at Richmond. The results were extremely encouraging and from 2015 all Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines have been made Pooley Wines.

Vibrant purple colour with excellent depth. Rich & spicy fruit aromas show real depth, with excellent clarity. Intense yet with finesse and hints of delicate savoury oak very much in the background. Remarkably intensity and volume here. Finishes very long, with fine tannins.
