Primo Estate Joseph La Magia Botryris Riesling Traminer 375mL 2016 McLaren Vale - 12 Bottles

The nose is saturated with floral and summer fruit characters: fresh and lifted. The floral intensity really stands out with delicious honeysuckle rose and orange blossom characters. Succulent mandarin and apricot fruit balanced with generous amounts of fresh zippy acid shine through on the palate. More intense Riesling flavours than in previous years from the mineral character of the Clarendon fruit. Winemaking: The hand picked Riesling from Clarendon is carefully laid out on hand made racks and inoculated with Botrytis Cinerea spores. Over a period of four weeks the Botrytis mould is allowed to work it’s Magia, or Magic, on the Riesling grapes before the fruit is crushed and a long and slow fermentation ensues. The late harvest Traminer is fermented and carefully blended with the Botrytised Riesling to create JOSEPH La Magia. Peak Drinking - Stunning on release, La Magia will also age gracefully over many years, taking on honey like complexity and richness Food Matches - Gorgonzola Dolce Latte Cheese from Italy
