Description

Jericho has a knack for turning out wines that are fun, modern and bang on the money for how we actually like to drink. Their Tempranillo is a great example – a joven style (Spanish for “young”) that’s all about freshness and energy rather than weight and oak.

From old vines in the northern Adelaide Hills, this wine is lifted and bright – strawberries, cherries, pomegranate and just a little herbal twist of bay leaf and tobacco leaf. It’s smooth and supple on the palate, with plush fruit wrapped in soft tannins and a refreshing snap of acidity. The winemaking keeps things deliberately light: pressed off skins midway through ferment, a short stint in old oak, and bottled early to lock in the fruit.

The result is a Tempranillo that’s dangerously easy to drink – juicy, silky, and versatile at the table. Throw it on the table with lamb cutlets, spicy chorizo, or even a midweek pizza and it won’t miss a beat.

Made in small batches by one of our favourite family producers, this is Tempranillo done the Jericho way – bright, fresh and made for drinking now.

    Easy drinking !

Light, bright & juicy
Joven, meaning young, or youthful is the name given to this style of Tempranillo, and lively freshness is certainly the name of the game in this wine. 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.

Wine Notes
Unlike most red wines, our joven 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.

Vineyard
The vineyard is in the north of the Adelaide Hills near Kersbrook giving a cool dry climate. Gentle east facing slopes provide shallow loam soils ideal for these old vines to grow small grape bunches, giving intensity of flavour and soft tannins.

Food Pairing
The juicy red fruits and plush structure of this wine are suited to perfectly grilled BBQ meats; spring lamb and spicy chorizo sausage are ideal pairings.

Cellaring
Enjoy this wine within 2-3 years of release.
