2022 Joshua Cooper Balgownie Vineyard Old Vines Cabernet Sauvignon
WINEMAKER: Joshua Cooper
REGION: Bendigo, VIC
VARIETY: Cabernet Sauvignon
VITICULTURE: Organic/Sustainable
Deep, dark garnet. A wine which immediately makes one sit up and focus. Incredibly refined and complex with iron, sweet cassis, cedar spice, violet and rose, air reveals infinite nuance and detail. The palate is flooded with wave upon wave of Cabernet fruit, braced by a strict but not overbearing tannic structure, finishing with sweet violet and cassis.
The son of biodynamic power couple Alan & Nelly Cooper of Cobaw Ridge, Joshua Cooper is one of the most exciting young winemakers in Australia. Unbelievable precision and focus. Tiny quantities, high demand, a producer to watch.
