The Tuscan Flies High With JetStar
Our 2010 Primo & Co The Tuscan Shiraz Sangiovese received a lovely write-up in this month's JetStar magazine. Roberta Muir wrote 'Made in Italy by South Australian winemaker Joe Grilli, savoury Sangiovese tempers the fruitiness of Shiraz to create a smooth soft red'. Check out Roberta's other recommendations.

Help us Support The Mary Potter Foundation
In gratitude for the wonderful work of The Mary Potter Hospice who gave so much support to the Grilli family during Dina's illness we are proud to announce that we will donate $20.00 from every dozen of Primo Estate or JOSEPH wines sold online during July and August to The Mary Potter Foundation. Cathy Murphy, Executive Director of Foundation says, 'Our aim is to help people enjoy the highest quality of life during treatment and when active treatment is no longer an option.' We think that sounds a lot like the Primo Estate motto of 'la dolce vita, the good life.

La Biondina in Tony Love's Top Winter Wines
We are thrilled to see that the Herald Sun's wine writer Tony Love is as happy with the 2012 Primo Estate La Biondina Colombard as we are!
'Every year, the arrival of a new-vintage Colombard signals "that" moment when the fresh start begins and the year comes into focus. It may be winter, but this screams of summer, redolent of tropical passionfruit, full of zing and more of that tangy fruit on the palate. It hangs more-ishly in your taste memory as well. Lovely.'
