This wine is always released with an extra year of bottle age to allow the complexity of the wine to meld together and its expression to come alive. Now in a great drinking window, but still offering great cellaring potential. This obscure Italian variety has long captured our attention from Cobaw Ridge. Deep and wild dark fruit expression with herbs and minerality at the fore. The palate always has great freshness and energy while combining concentration and flavour.

Cobaw Ridge was established in 1985 by Alan and Nelly Cooper. Vines were planted on granitic, sandy soil in the cool climate Macedon Ranges, on the cusp of the Great Dividing Range at some 610m. Their positioning, in a natural amphitheatre, provides the perfect place to produce terroir-driven wines.
