2022 Cobaw Ridge Lagrein - MACEDON RANGES, VIC. 750ml
An obscure varietal originally hailing from the very north of Italy.
The estate Lagrein is varietally expressive with abundant savoury and mineral traits, together with dark cherries, spice and liquorice. Fine lifted floral nose and super supple with great length. 2021 Lagrein given an extra year of bottle maturity to build intensity prior to release.
Halliday Wine Companion 96 /100 Welcome to the world of Lagrein. Cobaw Ridge is the champion of it in Australia, and it’s a variety in need of a cool climate. Macedon Ranges fits the bill. Yes, sunshine to ripen but cool nights are essential to retain acidity. This feels cool and cooling with fine acidity throughout teasing the dark plummy fruit into submission. Spiced with cinnamon and pepper, this has depth as much as charm. Published 15 May 2023 Jane Faulkner
