'Crowd Pleasing' La Biondina Colombard is Ralph Kyte-Powell's Pick

Ralph Kyte-Powell reviewed our 2015 La Biondina Colombard in his Wine Guide for The Age and Sydney Morning Herald writing:

'This succulent young wine from close to Adelaide has passionfruit, sweet citrus and herbaceous aromas that surge through a light, ripe, tangy palate. A crowd pleasing style'.

Ralph's mouthwatering food match suggestion is a seasonal asparagus salad with chevre

Recipe of the Month - Pollo in Umido

Pollo in Umido - Venetian Chicken Stew

Serving Size: 4
Cook Time: 01:00:00
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

8 Chicken thigh fillets cut in half (alternatively chicken pieces on the bone can be used)
Onion finely sliced
4 Tablespoons of JOSEPH Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Carrot, diced
1 Celery stalk, diced
1 Cup of Virginia Vineyard Unlabelled White Wine
400 g Canned diced tomatos
Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions

Heat JOSEPH Olive Oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, carrot and celery. Cook until lightly coloured and softened.

Add chicken pieces and brown slightly. Season to taste. Add the white wine and allow liquid to evaporate to half its orginial volume. Add tomato, cover and cook over a low heat until the meat is tender (about 45 minutes).

This recipe can be adapted by adding mushrooms (fresh or dried) and also for a more intense flavour using red wine instead of white. 

Serve by itself or over boiled rice.

96 Points for 2013 JOSEPH Moda!

We are thrilled that Master of Wine Rob Geddes gave our newly released 2013 JOSEPH Moda Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 96 points. Rob writes:

"The aromas are intriguing from its complex mix of the fresh and more mature cedar, black currant, celery, angostura and meatstock. The medium bodied, elegant, long palate is a joy. It has a lusciousness from tannins, cloaked in ripe bramble and white truffle fruits, with the length of finely wrought flavours holding well into the finish. It requires deep knowledge and a very sophisticated art form to understand the techniques used to deliver a wine so seemingly elegant, deep, and complex."

- Rob Geddes MW, Author of Australian Wine Vintages
