The Tuscan Flies High In Qantas Magazine

Peter Bourne has selected our 2010 Primo & Co The Tuscan Shiraz Sangiovese for his feature on flying winemakers in this month's issue of Qantas inflight magazine The Australian Way.

In this 'tale of two hemispheres' Peter describes The Tuscan's 'generous spiced plum and fresh tobacco aromas set in a frame of mild-mannered tannins'. It is a really interesting look at flying winemakers and their influence on wine both here and overseas, check out the full article.

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.

5 Stars for JOSEPH Sparkling Red in The Age

JOSEPH Sparkling Red is the perfect pairing for roast turkey with cranberries or chicken with chestnut stuffing this Christmas according to The Age's Epicure Uncorked, Ralph Kyte-Powell. In this weekend's five star review Ralph says:

'Australia's most distinctive sparkling red? Based on aged red wines with an annual contribution of younger Primo Estate material it's complex with leathery notes, plum, berry fruit, hints of spice and old oak. Dry for its kind, it is soft and creaming, subtly flavoured, long and complete. Five stars'

PLUS

The Age's 'Presents for Palates' feature by Jeni Port recommends the JOSEPH Sparkling Red as a Christmas gift for its 'A massively complex, engaging sparkling from McLaren Vale; old wine base material is the secret, chocolate, aniseed, allspice, blackberry and fruit cake'
