JOSEPH Sparkling Red 'Head and shoulders above the rest'
Louise Radman writes in SA Weekend magazine,
'Nothing beats the opulent black forest-inspired combination of dark chocolate and cherry. With robust character and cocoa flavours of its own, the iconic Australian sparkling red is a classic match to complement any chocolaty treat. This indulgent cuvee from JOSEPH stands head and shoulders above the rest. It's a rich and sumptuous wine with soft bubbles and a brooding core of black cherry and satsuma plum, cracked pepper and chocolate bullet notes. The opulent blend of museum vintages has savoury sweetness and serious layers of complexity to offset bittersweet dark chocolate tones.'
We think Louise is on to a winner with her chocolate pairing but for those seeking a savoury match for this wine we love it paired with Dina Grilli's Umbrian Pate.
