Winery
Primo Estate
Joe Grilli has evolved a typically eclectic mix of wines such as the La Magia Riesling, Sparkling Red, Nebbiolo and the Double Pruned cabernet under his Joseph label which reflect his unique creativity, artistic flair and technical competence. For more than 25 years he has been at the cutting edge of Australian wine and his benchmark reds of Joseph 'Moda' and Angel Gully Shiraz are regularly outstanding and long-living. Of particular note today is the emerging mid-priced bracket of Primo Estate wines such as the Zamberlan blend, the Shale Stone Shiraz and the consistently delicious Il Briccone, each of which reflect Grilli's personal European spin on the expression of Australian terroir.
