2022 Joshua Cooper Cabernet Sauvignon

Described by wine commentator Mike Bennie as "one of Australia’s brightest young winemakers”, Joshua Cooper is steadily forging a reputation for thoughtful, elegant, and confident wines from grapes grown in Macedon and surrounds.

The self-described ultimate “Luncheon Claret”. The wine is built around a backbone of Shays Flat and Dash Farms, combined with smaller components of Balgownie Old Vines and Redbank. Medium weight, fresh and vibrant, yet also offering fantastic complexity and serious tannin. The wine will age into the medium term as well as drinking well now. Expect cassis, gravel, cedar, wild herb and violet. A Cabernet with great clarity of flavour and aromatics, and a seriousness of structure. The wine is best enjoyed decanted to reveal its true potential.
