2025 Joshua Cooper Regional Release Chardonnay
Joshua Cooper’s 2025 Regional Release Chardonnay is another banger from one of the true superstar producers in Victoria.
Sourced entirely from the weathered granite slopes of Dash Farms, it actually shares the exact same DNA as his upcoming single-vineyard release, but it is made with earlier drinking in mind. He gave the fruit a slightly longer pressing and aged it in a mix of old French oak and stainless steel to keep the focus firmly on the fruit and texture rather than the barrel.
This is classy, ready to rip Chardonnay. The palate is sharp and focused, showing bright citrus and faint green almond. Despite that precision, it carries a really nice, finely textured mouthfeel that coats the palate and lingers on the finish without feeling heavy or overworked.
It is a beautiful, highly drinkable Chardonnay to open right now, but it has the concentration and shape to comfortably handle some medium-term cellaring if you want to hold onto it.

"Delicious drinking... Delightful. Everything just so. Good freshness too. Happy days."

2025 Joshua Cooper Regional Release Rose
Josh Cooper doesn't treat rosé as an afterthought. Inspired by the serious, age-worthy wines of Southern France - think Domaine Tempier or Clos Cibonne - this is a textural, structured take on the style. It is an interesting blend of Merlot, Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon, which he ferments in large old French oak and ages on its lees for 11 months to build genuine depth.
It pours a pale, orangey-salmon in the glass. The nose brings out raspberry, cranberry, and green almond, alongside a nice hit of white pepper and stony minerality. When you take a sip, it strikes a great balance. It is crisp and fresh, but carries a creamy, lees-driven richness and fine, feathery tannins that give it a proper savoury edge.
This isn't just a simple summer drink to serve ice-cold and forget about. It is a fantastic food wine that has the detail to stand up to a serious meal, and it will easily build more spice and complexity if you decide to lose it in the cellar for a few years.

"Good depth and squishy, slick texture on hand. It feels fuller figured in the rosé landscape but has the requisite sense of freshness and drinkability too... Delightful. Utterly."
- Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
2025 Joshua Cooper Regional Release Pinot Noir
Young Josh Cooper grew up surrounded by Pinot Noir at his parents' Cobaw Ridge estate in the Macedon Ranges. That kind of lifelong familiarity really shows in the way he handles the grape today. His Regional Release Pinot Noir is a great, relaxed introduction to his site-driven approach. Made with the same attention to detail as his top-tier single-vineyard wines, this release is sourced from the exposed granite soils of Dash Farms.
It pours a bright ruby red and opens up easily with dark cherry, black raspberry, and woody herbs, backed by a subtle, smoky flintiness. On the palate, you get plenty of plump red fruit and savoury spice. It is framed by fresh acidity and fine, powdery tannins that give it a nice structural backbone without making it heavy or demanding.
It is the kind of Pinot that is open and delicious to drink right now, making it an easy choice for a very good weekday bottle, but it has more than enough shape to sit in the cellar for a few years if you want to see how it evolves.
2025 Joshua Cooper Regional Release Cabernet
Joshua Cooper has a serious knack for Central Victorian Cabernet, and his 2025 Regional Release - often referred to as his Claret - is the one you want to drink now. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec, it leans into a softer, more fruit-forward profile than his single-vineyard wines, resulting in a modern, highly drinkable take on a traditional Bordeaux blend.
The 2025 vintage is a particularly strong one for this release, though a dry season means quantities are painfully limited this year. It is crafted in a supple, juicy style, striking that rare balance where it feels light enough for a long lunch, yet packs more than enough stuffing to stand up to a serious meal or a stint in the cellar.
It pours a bright garnet red. The nose leads with blood plum, cassis, and creamy black cherry, backed by complex layers of tobacco, violet, and iodine. The palate is plush and generous, loaded with purple berry fruit and framed by fine tannins and perfectly judged acidity that deliver shape without unnecessary weight. It is incredibly approachable right now, but will easily evolve over the next few years.
