Great Southern’s Wineworx, has bottled the talents of eastern state winemaking identity Martin Cooper as Senior Winemaker. Great interest will be sure to follow the 35 year old Martin Cooper’s move to Western Australia, since his early days at renowned family owned wine company McWilliams wines, and recent winemaking venture Eden Road wines. At McWilliams Cooper quickly rose to become Group Senior Winemaker and during eight years he progressively lifted the quality and style of many of the McWilliams brands. Along the way Cooper was awarded Gourmet Traveller’s WINE medal for young winemaker achievement; was a Wine Society Young Winemaker of the Year finalist and had the privilege to be invited as an inaugural Len Evans Scholar which he rates as his most prized achievement. The inimitable Len Evans was also instrumental in developing Cooper’s formidable wine judging record that has amassed a series of Capital city and Regional wine show appearances, including Royal Perth Wine show which sparked his early interest in the potential of the Great Southern region.
