The JOSEPH Sparkling Red Release

"Hey Joe – when will your JOSEPH Sparkling Red be back?”

Year round, I am asked this question by friends, family, and fellow wine lovers.

At our house, this wine is a holiday tradition. Christmas is not complete without it. I love popping the cork on a chilled bottle as the family arrives to celebrate.

Today you are the first to know - we have released the 2022 disgorgement!

We handcraft the Sparkling Red using a unique blend of aged reds from the past fifty years. This is a brooding, opulent wine with heady aromas of leather, spice, cedar, and a smooth, velvety finish.

I can't help but get excited every time I taste the wine - like in this video.

 Here's what wine writers have to say about the JOSEPH Sparkling Red: 

“One of Australia's treasures.” - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion

"An inimitable benchmark that everyone must experience." - Tyson Stelzer, The Australian Sparkling Report

“My forever Xmas wine…It’s a master stock of a wine” - Andrew Graham, The Australian Wine Review

Each year we bottle only a tiny quantity in order to preserve the integrity of our decades-old base stock. Do not miss out - this wine will be gone long before Christmas.

As always we are offering a bonus bottle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and free shipping with every mixed or straight dozen.

Life's too short to drink anything other than great wine!
