Cobaw Ridge
Macedon Ranges, Victoria
Winemaker: Alan Cooper
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.
CERTIFIED BIODYNAMIC NASAA 2011
'We feel these practices will further our holistic, sustainable, and above all natural approach to grape growing and winemaking, and provide an even greater opportunity for the wines to speak of the land which bore them’. Alan Cooper, Winemaker, Cobaw Ridge.
Honest, authentic and passionate are words that we use to describe the wineries we work with and without a doubt, Cobaw Ridge fits this mould perfectly.

Cobaw Ridge Ilpinko Syrah Rose
Estate Syrah whole bunch pressed then rough settled prior to fermentation in large old oak, Qvevri and an experimental ceramic vessel.
Zero additions or SO 2 till final blending.
SO2 and a light bentonite fine prior to bottling.
Think blood orange, watermelon and grapefruit flavours with saline acidity. Delicate “onion skins “colour is bang on!
Cobaw Ridge l’altra Chardonnay
Pressing wine from our estate Chardonnay.
A barrel given 2 years in oak and a barrel with 1 year in oak.
More nutty and with slight oxidative handling have added another dimension to the quite savoury
Cobaw Ridge l’altra Syrah Pinot
Estate blend of Rose and Pinot pressing with a dash of Lagrein..
Juicy and bright, delicious and designed to take a little bit of a chill.
