Zamberlamb - Recipe of the Month

Our deliciously rich 2010 Primo Estate Zamberlan Cabernet Sauvignon Sangiovese is the perfect pairing with this seasonal spring recipe from Rob Paglia at La Dolce Vita (many of you will recognise Rob as the chef behind our fabulous cellar door lunches). It is such a great match for our 'baby Moda' Zamberlan that we call it 'Zamberlamb'. To find out how Zamberlan got its name, watch Joe's video.

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.
