In 1985, Nelly and Alan Cooper established Cobaw Ridge in a natural amphitheatre at 610m of altitude, located in the cool climate of Macedon Ranges. The vision they had for the winery led them to obtain a biodynamic certification in 2011, and that's something that they are very proud of, the estate is one of just four Australian wineries to belong to Nicolas Joly’s group of biodynamic wine producers. You can sense that there is a real connection between the couple and their land when visiting the estate. Everything is done with minimal intervention and a will to preserve and promote the unique terroir where their vines grow. This is for us one of our favourite wineries in Victoria as the wines tend to show personality and authenticity, it's always an exciting time when the new vintage is being released!
Why do we like it?
As we said, it's all about minimal intervention so all the reds are made without being fined or filtered in order to keep all the aromas and flavours of their wines intact. The Pinot Noir 2021 is sumptuous, delicately perfumed with fresh red cherry, pomegranate and raspberry notes. The wine has a presence and poise which is really attractive, a touch of sweet spices and leafiness which with time will probably develop into much more savoury character. You can have it now or age it for a little while in your cellar.
