About the Wine
Campbell Mattinson once described Jericho as a "Tiny producer making excellent wines", which pretty much sums up this excellent winery. This is a fantastic take on an often misunderstood wine style.
Fermented in old French oak and aged on its lees for 4 months, this is full of rich texture and complexity. The key though is the harmony between these creamy oak characters, ripe tropical fruit and cleansing acidity achieved by winemakers Neil and Andrew Jericho.
A delicious, flavour-packed wine for lovers of textural whites - and outstanding value at that.
About Jericho
Jericho is one of the most exciting emerging producers in South Australia, consistently churning out delicious, characterful and brilliantly priced wines in all styles.
Family owned and run, with experienced winemaker Neil Jericho at the helm, they source both traditional and alternative varieties from various vineyards around McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills. Neil sums up the Jericho philosophy: “in every wine I like to see varietal flavour and character. I don’t want to overpower the fruit with oak. It’s got to be in balance, with nothing sticking out. They’ve got to be drinkable!”
Modern, creative and smashable wines and across the range, amazing value!

From the Producer
Informed by the great wines of Pouilly Fume, in the Loire Valley, this is Sauvignon Blanc done differently. A lifted tropical bouquet jumps out of the glass. Heady pineapple, passionfruit and ripe peaches are underpinned by delicate characters of brioche and cashew nuts derived from lees stirring. Texture and weight are balanced by fresh varietal acid.

Critic Reviews
"It has many strings to its bow. It blooms with flavour and aroma, it has texture, it doesn’t leave varietal flavour behind and for all that it has going on it also has good cut, good lines. Smoke, thistles, passionfruit and apple meet wax, vanilla and gravel. It puts on quite a show but it also feels tight, clean and dry. Excellent release." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)
"Exceptional sauvignon. A convincing argument for the variety's intrinsic qualities, so seldom seen in this country. Mid weighted, while plying a pungent mineral undercard against a fully stacked deck of quince, greengage and mirabelle. Thoroughly convincing. What is most impressive is the spectrum of ripe fruit accents juxtaposed against an aura of savouriness that is more Euro styling than the sweet-and-sour norm of the Adelaide Hills." - Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Wine Companion)

Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
