La Magia, The Magic, Returns to Primo Estate McLaren Vale
The first vintage of JOSEPH La Magia Botrytis Riesling Traminer since 2008 has finally been bottled. Joe Grilli and the winemaking team were once again captivated by the process of infecting pristine Riesling grapes from our Clarendon Vineyard with specially cultured Botrytis spores. Over four weeks the Botrytis cast its spell on the fuit, transforming it into a luscious and alluring sweet white wine. Complimented by a parcel of late harvest Traminer from Coonawarra, the 2013 JOSEPH La Magia Botrytis Riesling Traminer is a complex and layered wine displaying hallmark exotic Botrytis characters balanced by a line of natural acidity and freshness from the Traminer. We invite you to experience this wine for yourself, either in our McLaren Vale cellar door or at your next dinner party. Click here to order online

JOSEPH d'Elena 2013 is released
The freshly bottled 2013 JOSEPH d'Elena Pinot Grigio arrived at the Primo Estate cellar door this week. Mark and the team couldn't wait to open a bottle and try the new vintage. Fresh from filtration and bottling, it needs a couple of weeks to settle, however the class of this wine is unmistakable. Subtle fruit aromas, hints of spice, soft texture and delicate length as usual. 2013 d'Elena Pinot Grigio, yum.
