TASTING NOTE: The nose is seriously aromatic; strawberries, juicy pomegranate and black cherries mingle with an ephemeral hint of fresh tobacco and dried bay leaf. The palate is smooth and supple; soft tannins and zippy fresh acid are the ideal complement to the plush fruit weight.

ABOUT THE WINE: Unlike most red wines, this joven (young) style of Tempranillo is pressed off skins midway through fermentation. This early pressing prevents the extraction of bold and harsh tannins that are typical to Tempranillo from the skins into the wine, resulting in a plush, juicy, and endlessly drinkable style of red wine. A short time maturing in seasoned French oak, before early release preserves the fresh and intensely red-fruited character of this wine.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The Jericho family tradition began in 1945 in South Australia’s Riverland region, with first generation growers Vic and Grace Jericho. In planting their patch in Barmera with Shiraz, Grenache, Pedro Ximenez, and Palomino, the young couple unknowingly sowed the seeds for future generations of the Jericho family to tend to the vineyards. Their youngest son Neil founded Jericho as it is today, and with his son Andrew they produce elegant, great value, small batch wines. Fruit is sourced from their new home block in Blewitt Springs and also from trusted growers in the Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale. Neil has a passion for alternative varietals in Australia, producing some of Australia's best examples of wines made from Italian and Spanish varieties.
