About The Wine
This early drinking light bodied red combines two of Cobaw Ridge's pet red varieties: Syrah and Lagrein.
It's picked insanely early, rocking it at just around 11% alcohol but it drives home freshness and energy and sheer drinking pleasure.
It's spicy and red fruited, dailled in with a jolt of nervy acidity. It's a Syrah blend for Pinot Noir lovers, or something like that.
On your list of "Red Wines to Drink This Summer", the L'Altra should absolutely have a spot.
About Cobaw Ridge
Cobaw Ridge was established in 1985 by Alan and Nelly Cooper in the Macedon Ranges.
This estate is the only certified organic and biodynamic producer in the region. Alan firmly believes that great wines are made in the vineyard. The vines come first at Cobaw Ridge. They grow excellent examples of Syrah, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and Australia's most sought-after example of Lagrein.
Over the years Alan's winemaking approach has become more and more minimalist. With sulphur now the only addition in the winery and Alan using more inert vessels such as Qvevri, the Cobaw Ridge Wines have never looked better.

Critic Reviews
"Dances on the tongue with its melody of wild raspberry, fennel, blood orange and varied exotic spice. A slight wine that packs in lots of good flavour, feels vivacious and thirst-quenching and somehow still manages to show the attractive, hallmark haze of texture that Cobaw Ridge does so well. While not quite a summery red, there’s plenty of depth here all things considered, and tannins stain the palate well, there’s cause to say it will take well to a chill, though drinks excellently with fingerless gloves cupping the bowl of the glass too. A clever and intriguing, wonderful drink." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine.
