Beautiful wine, lean and pure, fine and supremely balanced. Everything so fine. Such loveliness - Mike Bennie

Description

In 1985, Alan and Nelly Cooper established their Macedon Ranges vineyard, positioned in a natural amphitheatre 610 metres above sea level in the heart of the Macedon Ranges. They produce premium cool climate wines that are 100% estate grown and are the first winery in the region to be certified organic and biodynamic.

"Wow. Exquisite wine. There's a lot of flavour here, yet it runs on the pure energy of its fine acidity. Leesy, nutty characters add to the palate, which is moreish, savoury and very complete."  Jane Faulkner

"100% estate grown, biodynamic and organically grown fruit. 50% of the Chardonnay was left on skins for 3 weeks before being pressed off and left in old barrels for two years. The other portion was held on skins for an astonishing 737 days prior to being blended with the first component. Zero additions, fining or filtration. Tiny SO2 addition just prior to bottling."  Cobaw Ridge

Wine region map of Victoria

Victoria

Victoria is home to more than 800 wineries across 21 wine regions. The regions are Alpine Valley, Beechworth, Bendigo, Geelong, Gippsland, Glenrowan, Goulburn Valley, Grampians, Heathcote, Henty, King Valley, Macedon Ranges, Mornington Peninsula, Murray Darling, Pyrenees, Rutherglen, Strathbogie Ranges, Sunbury, Swan Hill, Upper Goulburn and Yarra Valley.

Victoria's first vines were planted at Yering in the Yarra Valley in 1838. By 1868 over 3,000 acres had been planted in Victoria, establishing Victoria as the premier wine State of the day. Today, the original vineyards planted at Best's Wines are among the oldest and rarest pre-phylloxera plantings in the world.

Victoria's climate varies from hot and dry in the north to cool in the south and each wine region specialises in different varietals. For example, Rutherglen in the north is famous for its opulent Muscats and Topaque and bold reds, while the many cooler climate regions near Melbourne produce world class Chardonnay and pinot Noir. Victoria is truly a wine lover's playground.
