Joshua Cooper Claret (2024) – Joshua Cooper has become one of Australia’s most closely watched young winemakers, focusing on restrained, site-driven wines from Victoria. This Cabernet-based Claret channels a cooler-climate style with blackcurrant, graphite, dried herbs, and firm structure instead of oversized ripeness. Savory, detailed, and highly food-friendly, it delivers a distinctly modern take on classic Bordeaux-inspired Australian reds.
