2022 Cobaw Ridge 'Il Pinko' Rosé

About The Wine

This is no ordinary rosé. Estate grown Syrah, which for Nelly and Alan Cooper means grown biodynamically - so you can be assured this is top shelf fruit. Like all their cuvées, it is handled gently, softly destemmed and gently hand plunged.

The magic comes from being fermented and aged in Georgian Qvevris and old French oak. Full malolactic fermentation gives it a full, but soft mouth feel.

It unfurls across your tongue with blood orange, watermelon and grapefruit. Ripe strawberries, juicy cherries as you swirl, and just enough earthiness and lacy tannin to hold everything neatly in place like a rolled up love-letter bound in twine. It finishes bone dry and puckers you up ready for the next sip.

Bone dry. Supple, elegant and stunning.

About Cobaw Ridge

Cobaw Ridge winery 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. 100% estate grown, they are now fully certified organic and biodynamic, something they are very proud of, and deservedly so.
