2023 Tempranillo - Adelaide Hills SA

This loveable Tempranillo from the Jericho family shows its hand early with ripe black cherry, sun-dried herbs, and hints of cacao nibs coil around a spine of dusty tannin. The palate is plush but grounded, with plum skin and sweet tobacco lending rustic charm. There's a savoury edge that keeps things compelling through a long, earth-driven finish. Best with flame-grilled lamb or a quiet evening with a record spinning.

Elegant but unpretentious.
