Jericho Wines Tempranillo 2023 from the cool, higher‑altitude Adelaide Hills is a light, bright and juicy joven‑style red that’s all about vibrancy, perfume and sheer drinkability in any season. It’s a seriously fun expression that still carries the polish you’d expect from the Jericho family.

In the glass, this 2023 Jericho Tempranillo is bursting with strawberries, juicy pomegranate and black cherries, laced with a subtle twist of fresh tobacco and dried bay leaf. The palate is smooth and supple, with plush red fruits, soft tannins and zippy acidity, making it dangerously easy to keep topping up the glass, even with a light chill on warmer nights.

This is tailor‑made for grilled BBQ meats, spring lamb chops, spicy chorizo and Friday‑night pizza or tapas – essentially anything that loves bright fruit and a bit of freshness. The Jericho Wines Adelaide Hills Tempranillo 2023 is best enjoyed within a couple of years of release, served slightly cool, and is a cracking house red for casual dinners with friends.
