95 Points of JOSEPH Sparkling Red from Australian Wine Review

2014 starts with a bang for our JOSEPH Sparkling Red with this lovely write up from Andrew Graham of Australian Wine Review:

'Intriguing as ever.

This 2013 disgorgement too is a high achiever, the final wine as complex and complete as you could ask for, with a little dose of nearly everything.

It smells principally of rich and decadent McLaren Vale Shiraz, all ripe and expansive choc plum richness. Yet over the top there is morethan a hint of the dusty, baked earth decay of 40 year old old Aussie red, suitably topped off with some of cassis and formic of Moda for balance, ultimately producing a wine that smells young and old all at once.'

We hope you enjoyed a bottle of this very special fizz over the festive period!
