It's the big 3 oh! for La Biondina, a modern Australian classic with an appeal all her own. Each season she returns eternally young, flaunting her style as the world's coolest, pure Colombard wine. Putting a smile on the face of white wine lovers since 1982, the little blonde is as attractive and alluring as ever.
The Adelaide Plains are just ten meters above sea level and are rejuvenated every day by the cooling maritime breezes, you can actually see the ocean from Primo's vineyard. A sunny dry climate and sandy loam soils are perfect for growing the late ripening Colombard varietal. Harvesting Colombard grape is always eagerly awaited, as this is truly small batch winemaking at its best. Parcels are picked through separate passes across a spectrum of beaume levels to achieve the perfect balance between tropical aromatic fruit flavours and crisp grape acidity. A long cool tank fermentation, followed by a prompt assemblage and early bottling preserves all the deirable delicate fruit flavours and freshness.
TASTING NOTES
Pale straw colour. Light, fresh passionfruit and citrus fill the bouquet, La Biondina has always been a delight. The mouthwateringly lively, exuberant palate exhibits juicy passionfuit, melon and citrus flavours, offering the taste of summer all year round. A piercing freshness and zing, pineapple, notes of lemon zest and melon, herbs and musk, guava, banana, and the list goes on. It's all about the fruit forward character and persistent aromas of grassiness and lemon zest. The mouth watering, fruit driven palate is the signature of this style, tangy and juicy, finishing with a faint sweetness. Our blonde is a popular little girl who can make friends with a wide variety of dishes but prefers shellfish and spicy Asian recipes.

About Primo Estate Wines
Primo Grilli planted his vineyard in 1973 a a spot 30 kilometres north of Adelaide within the rich fertile market gardening land of Virginia
Only 3 kilometres from the coast, Virginia enjoys the benefits of the cool sea breezes that sweep over the plains in the evenings. Primo built his vineyard with passion and understood completely the life of a vine. The grapes were grown to be turned into wine. His eldest son Joseph grew up with the vines tending them with the rest of the family. Joseph was to be a winemaker. It was not a conscious choice, not an expectation, just a progression, what he had to be. From his very first vintage, at age 20, Primo Estate's Joe Grilli wanted to create revolutionary wines. Ever since, Joe has been doing exactly that; creating some wonderfully dazzling and unconventional wines under the Joseph and Primo Estate labels. Primo Estate»
