Joshua Cooper’s Dash Farms Cabernet Sauvignon is a vibrant cool-climate expression from a late-ripening vineyard just outside the Macedon Ranges, showcasing his talent for capturing site-driven elegance. The region’s slow-growing fruit benefits from a refined growing season, yielding concentrated flavours with balanced ripeness. This wine is crafted with care, featuring natural fermentation and subtle oak influence, resulting in a medium-bodied Cabernet with fine, silty tannins and a focus on purity. Aromas of creamy cassis, lavender, violet, and savory graphite lead to a palate bursting with red cherries, raspberries, and delicate herbal notes, finishing with powdery tannins and refreshing acidity. A beautifully balanced wine that is approachable now but will reward further cellaring.
