The Vincast with Josh Cooper from Cobaw Ridge

https://player.whooshkaa.com/episode?id=81362

On part-one of this special episode of The Vincast, I’m joined by Josh Cooper. Josh’s family established Cobaw Ridge in the Macedon Ranges the same year he was born, at a time when growing grapes for wine was pretty risky in such a cool climate. They found great success with their wines, particularly after converting to biodynamics. Josh spent time studying viticulture and winemaking at Adelaide University, and in the past few years has not stopped, working vintages in Australia and Europe. Recently he has started a few local projects of his own, making some left-of-centre styles that are turning a few heads.

Let’s Taste – Chapter Shiraz 2014

Following up on a video a week ago, I opened one of my bottles of Chapter Shiraz 2014 that I bought at the Boomtown Winter Wine Launch. Jarad Curwood made this wine, and I hope to have him on The Vincast wine podcast very soon.

Let’s Taste – Boomtown Wine Co-op White 2015

A few weeks ago I went to the Boomtown Wine Cooperative Winter Launch, and picked myself up some bottles. I opened up the 2015 White for dinner at my girlfriends place, and recorded my thoughts on it.

Let’s Taste – Penfolds Bin 389 1996 and Seville Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1999

I was at my parents place, which meant I had access to my cellar, and so I opened up a few wines from the ’90s. First I opened and tasted the Penfolds Bin 389 1996, then the Seville Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 1999.

The Vincast with Julian Castagna from Castagna Vineyard

Before entering the wine industry, Julian had a successful and diverse career in the film and advertising industries, until he desired a more peaceful life on a vineyard. He scoured Australia for his slice of heaven but “kept coming back to Beechworth” in Victoria, eventually establishing Castagna Vineyard at 500m on granite soils. Due to his fascination with and affinity to biodynamic European wines, he became the first official biodynamic vintner in Australia, and an ambassador for biodynamic agriculture in the country, organising such fantastic events as the Return to Terroir tastings.

The Vincast with Gary Mills from Jamsheed Wines

Gary Mills didn’t learn how to make wine from any studies or books, he learned by doing. After falling into the wine industry in his home state of Western Australia, he got an opportunity to work in California for one of the most fabled vintners in the state, and his fate was sealed. He eventually returned to Australia and settled in Victoria, where he has become one of the most sought after single-vineyard winemakers in the country.
