Using the Italian ‘Moda Amarone’, whole bunches were dried for one week in open racks to concentrate the flavours. The partially dried fruit was then crushed into traditional open-topped fermenters with manual pump-over. Open-topped fermentation is at the heart of the JOSEPH red wine style. Intense bouquet of concentrated blackcurrant fruit intermingled
with characteristic raisin and cigar box notes. Mouth filling palate of rich, lush blueberry wrapped in fine dark cocoa. The palate is silky, poised and just goes on and on, to a gentle finish with lingering cedar oak.
Region
In just 30 minutes drive from Adelaide CBD you will find yourself in the heart of McLaren Vales vineyards. It has a rich, vinous history that harks back to the mid-1800s and its Mediterranean climate and diversity of soil types are perfect for an enviable array of grape varieties. Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon are well suited, as are the many white and red Italian varieties that ‘end with o’ but the star of the show is undisputedly Grenache and Australia’s finest examples come from the old bush-vines that dot the sandy, rolling hills of ‘The Vale’. Producers such as Yangarra, S.C. Panell, Toby Bekkers, Aphelion and Willunga 100 produce excellent examples and a few producers such as Jauma and Ochota Barrels swoop down from the Adelaide Hills to take advantage of the regions incredible Grenache resources. Local Knowledge: A visit to the mind-boggling Cube at d’Arenberg and a beer at the Victory Hotel and you’ll be in a happy place. Willunga Farmers Markets is a beauty too.
