Description

McLaren Vale 'GSM' blends work so very well, and this wine from the good people at Jericho is a contemporary, joyous celebration of the style.

The Grenache fruit comes from a mature vineyards, 40 years old in the Blewitt Springs area - a sub-region that is home to many of the Vale's finest and most perfumed Grenache.

Owner and winemaker Neil Jericho explained to us that while the Shiraz and Mataro components definitely add something to this wine, the hero is Grenache. Juicy, jubey, delicious Grenache!

This has been one of the great go-to GSMs from this region for a few years now and this vintage certainly doesn't miss a beat.

Redolent with bright red fruits, tart cranberries and musky spice. Black plum and fresh rhubarb slide across the palate. Sweet fruit is perfectly balanced by subtle savoury notes.

Blewitt Springs is the place to be for Grenache in South Australia. Partial whole bunch on the Grenache parcel results in bright red fruits, violets and spice. Structural shiraz provides the backbone for a long finish, while opulent Mourvèdre delivers a plush gamey punch.

93 Points - "84/14% shiraz/grenache, the remainder mourvèdre. All Blewitt Springs. While I pine for the latter as a greater presence in these blends (given its structural fortitude), there is not a great deal left after the ill-fated vine pull scheme of the '90s. And yet I have witnessed the capacity of this wine across vintages to age, and age well. A whiff of reduction shuffles to raspberry, dried thyme, rosemary and lavender. The fruit, nicely compressed by fine tannins. The finish, chewy and a little terse, but those tannins are so welcome as a wave of succulence peels the finish open. I look forward to revisiting it." - Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Wine Companion)

    Great value crowd pleaser!

    I wasn't sure what to expect with this one, but I was pleasantly surprised. I've had it about 3 or 4 times now, and it's never let me down. Everybody I've opened it for has loved it. One of the liveliest GSM's I've had and unbeatable for the price. Great for a session or paired with pizza. Highly recommend!

    The highlight of our dinner!

    A heavy Grenache blend, smooth, soft depth with all the berries you could imagine - oh so juicy!

    I'm a bit of a label lover and this mellow purple against the plum reminded me of our wedding flowers :)

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
