Primo Estate Joseph Sparkling Red NV
|
| |
|
|
An Australian icon with dark, brooding opulence and layered complexity nurtured over many years. Creamy and fresh with a super fine bead, this is the modern history of Australian red wine in a bottle.
The JOSEPH Sparkling Red has to be the ultimate Christmas indulgence; a unique blend of museum vintages from the last 40 years combined with a hogshead of the ultra premium JOSEPH Moda Cabernet Merlot from every year since 1991 and Primo Estate Shiraz dating back to 1989.
95 points - "Obvious age in colour; very complex leather/spice/tar/licorice aromas; mouthfilling flavours; quite unique; some oak inevitably part of the picture; perfect dosage." - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2010.
95/100 - "This is simply one of the four best sparkling reds in the land. Blended from wines of various ages, it has a complex, mellow bouquet of real depth and character. Richness and balance reflect good fruit and appropriate age, with sweetness kept in check and the finish showing wonderful softness and length." - Huon Hooke, The Sydney Morning Herald, 17 November 2009.
Joe and Dina Grilli's Italian heritage comes through in everything they do. With a passion for winemaking craft and a readiness to push a few boundaries, they have crafted a stable of very personal wines. The Primo Estate and JOSEPH labels are based in McLaren Vale and Clarendon with winemaking facilities on their Virginia vineyard. Revered by wine lovers, critics and contemporaries around the world, each vintage becomes a concerted effort to produce something unforgettable.
