Pinot Noir

While we continue to expand our collection of Burgundies, more and more new-world winemakers are coming to terms with this challenging variety. Australians have identified Geelong, the Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria as suited to premium Pinot Noir. More recently, Tasmania has shot up the ranks. Mount Mary, Farr Rising and Tolpuddle are names to seek out. New Zealand is also producing some compelling, full bodied wines. Look for regions like Martinborough, Marlborough and Central Otago.

2022 Joshua Cooper Doug's Vineyard Pinot Noir

Macedon Ranges, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$74. 99
Bottle
$899.88 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Diam Cork

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. Doug's Vineyard, near Romsey in the Macedon Ranges, was planted 20 years ago by the Newnham family, with mostly MV6 pinot noir and some 114 and 115 clone vines. The soil here is rich in rocky volcanic basalt, which limits vine growth and enhances the intensity of the fruit. After three weeks of fermentation, the wine was pressed to two new (Laurent “Magic Cask” thick stave, blonde toast), seven young (2-4yo Laurent “Magic Cask”) and ten old (6-10yo) oak Burgundian barrels for 12 months of maturation. The wine is then racked to stainless steel tanks for four more months of settling, before bottling without any additives except a small amount of sulphur.

Other Reviews....
I’ve been in love with Doug for a few years now, well I don’t know the man but the vineyard sure produces exceptional fruit as this is an exquisite wine. Cherries and kirsch, raspberry coulis and an abundance of exotic spices with some twiggy, whole-bunch punch, chinotto and a blood orange tang, too. In other words, there’s complexity and detail. Fruit and oak tannins frame the mid-weighted palate, which is plush and almost sensual. Overall, tannins are silky and glide across the palate helped on the way by fine acidity. Wow, what a wine. Drink 2024 - 2035.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
From Macedon Ranges and a site at 500-or-so metres above sea level. Love the idea of a vineyard owned by a ‘Doug’.
Strange, but I went straight to the wines of Marechal in Burgundy. Something about the expansive but light nature of the wine, the relaxed feel to texture, the little haze of tannins, loads of perfume both primary fruited and herbal. It’s got sinew and pucker, a strong sense of savouriness, a sizzle of cooling acidity and a great stretch of flavour and texture. It’s beautiful, really, and the gist is that it delivers grape character from all angles. I want to drink the hell out of this. Drink 2023 - 2030.

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.
Produced from a fantastic vintage for Pinot Noir, 65% Doug’s Vineyard and 35% Ray-Monde.
The best Pinot Noir blend to date. Perfectly ripe vibrant fruit as well as the complexity these sites innately deliver. A lovely mix of delicate red berries, rose and spice from Doug’s Vineyard and the dark, guttural depth of Ray-Monde. A fantastic introduction to the style of Joshua's Pinot wines and while approachable and delicious right now, it is destined to age well over the medium term.

From the regenerative farmed Ray-Monde Vineyard in South Gisborne. There’s usually a strong thread of savouriness in the wines from this place, and that continues here.
Very savoury, game meat, sweet, turned earth, dried leaf, truffle and dark cherry fruit characters to sniff on. Darker berries to taste, not a lick of sweet fruit anywhere here, truffle and crushed rock minerality with licks of eucalyptus and mint just barely there. Washes over the palate beautifully, a loose knit expression but with a building, lacy web of granitic tannin. An impressive, outstanding pinot noir very much marching to its own beat. Complexity, detail, interest. One to pause over in big glasses, and great right now. Drink 2022-2030+

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. Doug’s Vineyard is situated on the outskirts of the township of Romsey, in the Macedon Ranges. Owned by the Newnham family it was planted 20 years ago to predominantly MV6 and smaller amounts of 114 and 115 clone pinot noir. The wine sees one year in oak on lees, no stirring, and no racking, then transferred to stainless steel with all the fine lees for a further 4 months of elevage. Before racking and bottling, unfined and unfiltered. The only addition to the wine is a small dose of sulphur the week before bottling.

Romping in Romsey, as they say. Doug’s Vineyard a significant site for ye old Joshua Cooper.
A plush and fruity expression imbued with dark cherry, blood plum, liquorice and dried sage leaf characters. Feels supple and then rolls into a lingering, gravelly grip, delivering some structure for the upfront roll of fruit, spice and earthiness. It’s mouth-filling and soft, chock full of character and generally delicious to drink, with a savoury bent. Serious stuff. Drink 2022 - 2028.

Central Highlands and Ranges of Victoria. Magnificent country. Pinot noir, from Doug’s and Ray’s plots.
It’s a beauty. Bright and fresh, succulent, really fine boned, gossamer textured, sour cherry, floral, pretty-savoury spices too. Has this really lovely, faint minerally edge too. Tannins chime in from mid palate and the wine firms up beautifully. Fantastic expression, so delightful.

Notes from producer....
A fantastic entry point to my 2021 Pinot Noir’s, comprised of two thirds Doug’s Vineyard and one third Ray-Monde Vineyard. Aged only in used piece, incredibly fresh with red berry and cherry, rose and violet, there is a fantastic concentration in 2021 which will see this cuvee mature into the medium term, while also offering seductive drinking now.
Vintage conditions saw a late season producing fresh wines of remarkable intensity, depth and balance. It is a very special year and one that will age extremely well. These earlier release wines provide and exciting glimpse at the quality to expect come the single vineyard release in July.

Other Reviews....
From the regenerative farm of Ray-Monde Vineyard comes pinot noir of Joshua Cooper’s bidding. Ray-Monde always puts me in mind of the Rayman video games, for some reason.
Scents of ripe cherry, brambles and undergrowth, sweet manure, truffle, old campfire and wet bark. Savoury as. Flavours savoury too, tannins gummy and late to come into play, the wine finishes a bit short and with a sappy and sooty, smoked meat finish. Dark cherry, dark plum flavours before that, even a touch of espresso and clove in the mix. A darker, earthier release, a bit disjointed at present, the quiet smoky spice element a niggle. Still, a charming wine of grand savouriness on hand. Drink: 2021 - 2029.

Mike Bennie - The Wine Front (August 2021)

With very vivid strawberry and bright red-cherry aromas and flavors, this is complex from the outset and the fruit really shines through. There’s plenty of perfume, too. Very silky texture with smooth, fine tannins and a silky, fresh resolve. Pomegranate and cherry essence to close. Vibrant. Drink or hold.

Other Reviews....
A tough year for Macedon in 2020 but a silver lining for Joshua Cooper and family was getting their own piece of dirt to which they will close-plant vines. The site is half way between Daylesford and Kyneton some 600 metres above sea level and looking over Virgin Hills estate, a winery that I know forms part of Josh’s inspiration for wines and winemaking. Anyway, this is pinot from Doug’s place.
A curious wine in that it’s 12% alcohol and feels more like 14% or there abouts, Quite thick set, broad shouldered, dense and dark. The perfume shows ripe plum, pickled cherries, old spice cupboard, smoked paprika aromas and some mulchy green herb in the mix. Flavours are richer and dark fruited, shows with malt-extract notes and thick tannin layers on palate and tongue. Acidity is cool in this, the wine deeply savoury and brooding in fruit character. That dark fruit rolls long and the finish is complete with smoked paprika and a light mocha note that turns a little sooty. Most of the elements mesh here, the wine a feast for the senses, with seasonal character on show. Drink 2021 - 2028.

Very fresh and also rich , this pinot offers blueberries and dark cherries, as well as complex violet-like florals and spicy notes. The palate offers crunchy and lightly granular tannin with red-cherry and tangy plum flavors. Acidity is a highlight. Best from 2024.

Other reviews...
It’s a pretty Australian thing calling a wine ‘Doug’s Vineyard’, no fancy domaine this or that or something aspiration. Just a piece of dirt with some vines in it that a bloke called Doug farms in Macedon Ranges, Victoria. This feels like it comes from a ‘Mac Forbes pick’, in that the wine is quite bony, reluctant and tight, lean and lower in alcohol, firm and unyielding in its youth. That being said, it feels like there’s lots of detail in the wine, and, importantly, it sure is vibrant. Scents of wet fern, fresh picked green herb, just ripe cranberries, cardamom and, curiously, Worcestershire sauce. The palate is more straight laced, red cherries, sour-ish though, more of that cardamon and some clove spice, blood orange acidity and something ferrous to close in the whisper of light, puckering tannins. It’s racy and strict, pale in its personality, you could say a little thin, but all the detail is there. Needs time, but is beautiful in its shy, quiet way.

The 2016 Spätburgunder “S” from Weingut Keller is made up primarily from a parcel of twenty-five year-old vines in the Morstein vineyard, with just a touch of production added from both the Bürgel and the Frauenberg. This is a lovely, entry level pinot noir from Klaus-Peter, offering up a lovely bouquet of black cherries, a touch of blood orange, woodsmoke, a good base of chalky soil tones and a bit of cedar. On the palate the wine is medium-full, complex and tangy, with moderate tannins, good focus and grip and a long, intensely flavored and quite stylish finish. Good juice. 2021-2050.

Other Reviews....
From younger, roughly 20-year-old vines, foot-trodden after six or seven days and fermented with 40 to 50% whole clusters, the 2015 Frauenberg Spätburgunder GG is pure, ripe and fresh on the nose, with noble oak, intense cherry and dark berry aromas. On the palate, this is a full-bodied, pure, straight and juicy German "Geverey" with fine, fresh tannins, good grip and an aromatic finish. The Frauenberg is even finer and fresher than the Bürgel and offers great vitality, grip and tension. A pretty Burgundian-style Pinot Noir with mealy tannins that will certainly integrate soon. Tasted at the domain in August 2017.

Stephan Reinhardt - Wine Advocate #233 (Nov 2017)

While there are lovely intimations of ripe red and black raspberry on the nose, sea breeze and meat stock dominate. On the polished palate, fresh berry juiciness is mingled with beef stock and a bone-meal-like impression of marrowy, smoky and chalky suffusion. Taut berry skin and seedy crunch offer mouth-shaking invigoration on a superbly sustained, mouthwatering, multifaceted finish that does justice to Pinot’s potential for expressing animal and mineral flavors.
93 points
David Schildknecht - Vinous

Medium depth of cherry red colour, ruby rim. In its fragrance the Frauenberg, just like the Bürgel, puts fruit first, red and dark berries complemented by a delicate notion of ripe plum. The only clue to the employment of oak-ageing comes from a gentle fragrance of smoky bacon drifting across the glass. On the palate, firm but ripe tannins and juicy acidity are comfortably accommodated by a viscous texture, putting the quality of structure on par with a generous display of fruit, in which raspberries, cherries and plums take centre stage. Salty and smoky notes mark the contribution of minerality and oak ageing. Very tempting to drink now, but laying down should bring even greater rewards.

Keller's 2015 Bürgel Spätburgunder GG has a clear, deep, pure and reductive bouquet of ripe cherries with a hint of oak and nougat. This is a powerful, intense and silky-textured but fresh and highly finessed Pinot Noir with a long, aromatic finish. The tannins are fine and the finish is very juicy. I wouldn't serve this Pinot Noir before 2025, and I guess it will age very well. Tasted as a sample in August 2017.

Stephan Reinhardt - Wine Advocate #233 (Nov 2017)

Penetrating ripe red berry aromas mingle with a faintly coniferous green-resinous note that manages to integrate itself successfully on the palate. Hints of sea breeze and leather complete the aromatic profile and, similarly, have their savory counterparts on a silken-textured palate. A mouthwatering suggestion of veal stock adds to the appeal of a sappy, impressively persistent, slightly toasty-oak-inflected finish kept lively by irrepressibly juicy tang of cherry and red currant. This is going to be a real charmer as it matures, and is certainly a wine that does delicious justice to Pinot’s fruity, herbal, animal and mineral dimensions.

David Schildknecht - Vinous

Raspberry red of medium intensity, purple rim. Nose opens with a fine cherry fragrance, and with more air comes more fruit, cassis, not pungent, but in a delightfully restrained way. Obviously, Klaus Peter has used barriques, but in such a subtle way that you have to sniff hard to detect a mere hint of cigar box. The palate confirms that the oak has been toasted most gently, leaving the taste buds to concentrate on wonderfully pure fruit. Tannins are firm but not furry, and their subtle bitter expression works in perfect harmony with an animating acidity. Fine spices and a delicate salty tang add value to a long finish.

Barrel sample. 28 hl/ha. 20% whole bunch. 60% 2nd-use barrels, 40% 3rd use. Will be bottled in July 2018. Includes some German clones. Muschelkalk soils.
Translucent cherry red. The most beautiful red-fruit aroma but there’s also a light spice and a savoury serious character to balance the flirtatious fruit. Luscious red cherry on the palate and so fresh and silky. Utterly gorgeous and elegant. There’s depth and structure but the tannins are so fine that the structure is all hidden by the fruit. Beautifully built and long. Opens in the glass to a more scented, almost floral character, finely fresh. Moreish and complete. The word ‘slender’ comes to mind. Klaus Peter Keller says, ‘For me this is a red Riesling … If you have great land, you don’t need new barrels.’

The 2016 Bürgel pinot noir is absolutely superb and goes to show just how good one can make a pinot noir from German clones if the vines are old and the elevage is gentle enough to allow the fruit and soil tones to take center stage. The bouquet is superb, wafting from the glass in a complex mix of red berries, black cherries, woodsmoke, bitter chocolate, chalky and a nice touch of fresh herb tones in the upper register. On the palate the wine is medium-full, tangy and nicely sappy at the core, with lovely focus and grip, fine-grained, seamless tannins and a long, tangy and beautifully balanced finish. This wine is already showing lovely complexity out of the blocks and is going to be excellent.

Totally cool and elegant on the palate, this is a refined but very youthful pinot noir.

Barrel sample. 17 hl/ha, 50% 2nd-use oak, 50% 3rd use, 30% whole bunch. Vines are French mass selection. All limestone soils. ‘A winner in climate change’, says Keller – when they planted it, you could not ripen red grapes in this vineyard.
Mid cherry red. A little darker than the Bürgel. A little more spice, darker fruit but still red fruit, more intense on the nose, less immediate charm. You can see the stems but they are part of the fabric and not intrusive. A little firmer than the Bürgel but while the tannins are firmer, they are velvety smooth already, al dente. A little bit of oak sweetness but this is meshed with the fruit. There’s an attractive dusty/mineral quality that I associate with limestone. Needs a little longer but should have a really long life.

The 2016 Frauenberg pinot noir is more black fruity in personality than the Bürgel this year. The wine delivers a refined and vibrant nose of black cherries, raw cocoa, a great base of soil tones, a hint of the beetroot to come and gentle smokiness. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and bouncy, with lovely sappiness at the core, stellar transparency, suave, perfectly integrated tannins and a long, tangy and supremely elegant finish.

Kelvedon Estate has been in the Cotton Family’s hands since 1829. Over 12,000 acres in size, it is one of the largest land holdings on the east coast of Tasmania. In the mid-nineties Jack Cotton’s friend Ed Carr, winemaker at Arras, noticed a section of the property would be perfect for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, which led to the family to diversify into viticulture in 1998. Today the bulk of the fruit is sold to Accolade which they use in the production of Arras sparklings and Eileen Hardy Chardonnay.

Starts off in stainless steel then goes to oak barrel. Man, I like good German pinot noir. Something bony and direct about it, but pleasure giving nonetheless. Pfalz does a good job when at the apex. K Ruprecht sits in that zone. Just add saumagen.
Strong and vivacious bouquet of ripe cherries, tomato leaf, faint clove, lots of floral character. Crisp acidity and crunchy tannins, juicy cherry juice, pomegranate touches, just delightful with a mix of sweet and pleasingly sour flavours jostling. Touches all the pleasure zones and describes itself in fine wine paradigms. A coup! Drink 2019-2024.

Hiro Kusuda was born in Tokyo where he worked as a lawyer before a stint in Australia. Along the way his love affair with wine and winemaking grew, and eventually he set off to complete his studies at Geisenheim in Germany before moving to Martinborough in New Zealand to make hand crafted Pinot Noir. Kusuda is known for attention to detail, to the point that each berry is picked individually at harvest by his Japanese friends that fly out each year to assist. Naturally this precision comes at a cost, in particular the miniscule volumes produced, and as such stocks are extremely limited.

This was a light and fresh vintage in Martinborough, with plenty of aromas of green-top strawberries and citrus leaves, a medium to light body and fresh acidity. Sweet fruit flavors with hints of softness at the center. Lovely texture. Complex, subtle and graceful. Pristine for the vintage. Drink now.

The relatively pale colour of this pinot noir might trick you into thinking it’s a light wine but don’t be deceived, it has extraordinary power and length. A wine that’s all about purity and subtlety. Cherry, fresh herbs and subtle spices. Reserve judgement until it has at least a few year’s bottle age.

Boasts the lifted aromatic cool climate qualities of Macedon Ranges Pinot Noir with some oomph. Harmony reigns on the bouquet in chocolate and spice, black cherry and plum, five spice and aniseed. Runs generous and long with supple tannins allowing a good build-up across the palate of delicious, juicy red fruits, plum and spice with a pinch of dried herbs. A good follow up to the ’22 highlighting the estate’s rounded, soft hearted, fruit-filled Pinot Noir winemaking ethos. And like the ’22, has enough in reserve for the cellar as well as for earlier enjoyment. Based on a barrel selection from what was, according to general consensus, a terrific vintage with plenty of finesse on display in the region’s Pinot. Drink 2024-2030.

There’s a lovely exuberance to this with its florals and spice, cherries and raspberries with a whiff of cedary oak, mint and raspberry leaf, too. A more restrained style and it’s lovely as a result. Mid-weighted, the palate drenched in sweet fruit, and supple tannins show a silkiness to the finish. Drink by 2031.

An obsession with a fickle varietal.

Once you experience it, you never forget it. For some wine lovers, Pinot Noir becomes an obsession. While promising one of world's greatest wine experiences, it can also deliver some of the most disappointing. What is it about Pinot that makes it so frustratingly variable? There are known quality factors which offer encouragement to winemakers. Micro-climates have been observed to play an important part in a successful matrix, particularly the diurnal temperature range. Pinot Noir is a little like Riesling, in the sense that it requires warm, but not overly hot days and cool nights to fully develop its maximum flavour potential. Sunshine hours, rainfall, time and rate of precipitation are all important. Countering this is the fact that the same clone will not respond to differences in micro-climate in the same way. Older vines make better wines. Creative and adaptive viticultural management and winemaking are essential. Buy Pinot Noir online. Any questions about our products or shipping? Please feel free to get in touch by calling us directly on 1800 069 295 or by emailing [email protected] and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Browse and buy Pinot Noir online, spend more than $200 and you'll qualify for free delivery to most of Australia.
