| The wine is named after the magic (La Magia) of Botrytis Cinerea. Joe Grilli has been playing around with this magic for many years. His reputation as one of Australia’s truly great and innovative winemakers was first developed after he made and subsequently released some amazing Botrytis affected Rieslings. His first vintage was 1981, and yet this is his first release of a Botrytis Riesling under his prestigious "Joseph" label. That is how good this wine is...... |

| Once again Joe Grilli triumphs with this wonderful wine, certainly deserving its name. The translation is "The Magic". The magic is the Noble Rot or Botrytis. Joe has experimented with Botrytis affected wines for many years. It has only been in the last few vintages that he has been confident enough to put the wine under the banner of his exclusive ‘Joseph’ range...... |
