Jericho GSM | McLaren Vale, Australia

£19.00

Sweet Grenache fruit is perfectly balanced with Shiraz adding structure and length, while the subtle savoury Mourvèdre adds spice and gamy 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. Shiraz provides the backbone for a long finish, while opulent Mourvèdre delivers a plush gamey punch.

Grenache fruit is sourced from Jericho’s vineyard in Blewitt Springs, where vines grow on ancient sandy soils, resulting in a lighter bodied, aromatic style of Grenache. Shiraz is also sourced from the Blewitt Springs vineyard, the cooling breezes from the Gulf of St. Vincent helping to temper the warmth of long Summer days.
