'Il Pinko' is Cobaw Ridge's Syrah-based rosé, made from certified biodynamic vines at Alan and Nelly Cooper's Macedon Ranges estate — the first certified organic and biodynamic winery in the region, established in 1985.
The 2023 is pale, dry and savoury, with a perfume of blood orange, watermelon and ripe strawberry giving way to a complex palate of redcurrant, tart raspberry, anise, white pepper and pine needle. Fermented in qvevri (Georgian clay amphorae), the wine shows real texture and structure alongside its bright fruit — a rosé with layers and genuine drinking interest.
Super-refreshing but never simple. Perfect for a long summer lunch or anywhere you'd want a more serious, gastronomically-minded rosé.
