Joshua Cooper Rosé 2023
Type: Rosé Wine (Dry / Textural / Gastronomic Rosé)
Region: Central Victoria, Australia (Macedon Ranges influence)
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
Alcohol ABV: 12%
Tasting Profile and Key Notes
Aroma:
A refined and savoury style of rosé with aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, cranberry, and red cherry. Delicate floral notes of rose petals are complemented by hints of green almond, peppery spice, and subtle earthy complexity. The nose is elegant and restrained, closer to a serious Provençal-style rosé rather than a simple fruit-driven style.
Palate:
Dry, fresh, and beautifully textured with bright acidity and fine tannins. Flavours of crunchy red berries, cranberry, strawberry, and red apple are layered with savoury spice, mineral notes, and a gentle creamy texture from lees ageing. The finish is long, refreshing, and slightly saline, showing excellent structure and food-pairing ability.
Winemaking
Inspired by the serious rosés of Provence, particularly producers such as Clos Cibonne, Joshua Cooper crafts this rosé with a focus on texture and ageability rather than simple freshness. The Pinot Noir grapes receive short skin contact before fermentation, then the wine is fermented in large old French oak and aged on fine lees for approximately 11 months, creating additional complexity, texture, and savoury depth.
Farming
Joshua Cooper works with carefully selected vineyards in Central Victoria, focusing on sustainable vineyard practices and minimal intervention. The cool climate conditions of the region allow Pinot Noir to retain vibrant acidity while developing delicate red fruit aromatics and natural structure, resulting in a rosé with freshness and longevity
