The vine roots have extended deep into the hillside soil, primarily consisting of shale and mudstone. This soil also features an iron-rich top layer of reddish-brown loam, which is crucial for retaining water. After three weeks of fermentation, the wine was pressed to a combination of new Stockinger 300L barrels (30%), Spanish stoneware jars and seasoned thin-staved Bordeaux barrels for 12 months of maturation. The wine is then racked to stainless steel tanks for four more months of settling, before bottling without any additives except a small amount of sulphur. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImpenetrable garnet. Subtle and restrained, though incredibly distinctive. Redbank slowly reveals layer after layer - cassis, new leather, warm terracotta, fig and blood plum. The most elegant of Black Holes of aroma and flavour.  Fine and layered tannin coats the mouth, carrying inky, ferrous complexity and blood plum fruit. Redbank eloquently evokes the iron rich red loams, shale and wild scrub of this part of the Pyrenees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Fantastic wine, I hound the glass seeking the characters and textures on hand - an orchestral wine of high drinkability and prized age worthiness. Mega attractive.\" \u003cstrong\u003e- 95 Points, Mike Bennie, The Wine Front\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine world is a far more interesting, intriguing and diverse place with Josh Cooper in it plying his trade. Here, he sources fruit of a well-known vineyard planted in the '70s by Neill Robb, who still tends it. Skilfully, Josh teases the dark fruit into a savoury, complex wine that’s utterly delicious. Mid-weighted, fine tannins and lots of them, rolling smoothly across the palate. A striking wine. Drink 2024 - 2038.\u003cstrong\u003e 95 Points Jane Faulkner - Halliday's Australian Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joshua Cooper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48294082478326,"sku":"1505-1","price":95.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0451\/6580\/5731\/files\/Untitled-removebg-preview_31_28d58b77-31e0-4c27-9334-088becaa1632.png?v=1755588876","url":"https:\/\/edcellars.com.au\/products\/joshua-cooper-redbank-cabernet-sauvignon-2022","provider":"Edinburgh Cellars ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
