2022 Joshua Cooper Pinot Rose

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.

A blend of Pinot Gris from the granitic soils of the Dash Farms vineyard, perched at 550m altitude on the slopes of Mt Alexander plus Pinot Noir from both Doug’s Vineyard and Ray-Monde. Produced via direct pressing, with a long, slow, and gentle cycle. Similar to previous releases of rose this is a savoury and textural gastronomic style. Light salmon pink, aromas of musk, strawberry, pear skin, and complexing undergrowth and spice fill the glass. The palate is textured and long, with a subtle structuring tannic presence.
