About The Wine
This cool climate Chardonnay from Josh Cooper is an absolute cracker.
Gently handled, as is Josh's way, the hand-picked fruit from this old vineyard in the Macedon Ranges was gently pressed for 5 hours then sent to mostly old oak to mature for 12 months on lees.
It's tightly wound, full of flavour and imbued with an electric personality.
This Chardonnay sings of its home, a cool site on Cambrian and granite soils. It's pure Chardonnay of pure class.
Great stuff from Josh and one of the most compelling Chardonnays you will see from a young Australian winemaker.
About Joshua Cooper
Joshua Cooper is the son of Nelly and Allan Cooper, the founders of the acclaimed Cobaw Ridge winery in the Macedon Ranges.
A young winemaker on the rise, Josh is working with fruit from outside the family plot to craft his own suite of low-intervention wine. The growers he works with from across central Victoria farm with a like-minded philosophy of organic farming and sustainability.
The wines have a delicacy and unforced feel to them. Josh makes only a small amount of each wine and they are in high demand from those who want to get in early on the next generation of Cooper. He is one to watch closely as his own style and craftsmanship continue to evolve.

Critic Reviews
"What a wonderful name for a vineyard. Beautiful wine, sleek and slim, lemon curd meets green apple, strong talc-like mineral characters, jasmine and frangipani floral notes, faintest salted nutty savouriness in the mix. Rolls epically long, so perfect, so clean, so fine, lots of good inward concentration, general sense of vitality and energy. Brilliant wine, just missing that extra dimension this year to take it to the next level, but it sits at an epic one anyway." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
“This wine is bold, commanding and so packed with information and vivid structural definition. It has a level of intensity that is just so more-ish. The fruit sits in the pear, tangerine, grapefruit and lemon zone and there’s an overlay of savory honeysuckle, almond bread and nougat with intense, fleshy depth, underpinned by salient acidity that rips the finish in electrifying style. Such deep flavors. Really impressive. Drink or hold.” - Nick Stock (JamesSuckling.com)

Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
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. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
