Tasting Notes
If you were sitting in a Wine Bar in Madrid drinking a glass of this Jericho you would probably think it was from up the road - but it's from Adelaide Hills. It's made for drinking soon (Joven style), minimal oak, savoury red fruit but soft, with enough tannin to enjoy with sausages (and salad) on the Barbie or tapas. Delicious. - Chris L
Jericho Wines is a family-run winery based in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. Established in 2012, the project brings together several generations of the Jericho family, with Neil Jericho’s decades of winemaking experience complemented by his children’s fresh perspective. Their vineyards are centred in the cool-climate Adelaide Hills, with additional fruit sourced from McLaren Vale and Wrattonbully to highlight regional strengths.
The focus is on varieties that thrive in cooler conditions, including Chardonnay, Fiano, Pinot Noir and Syrah, alongside bold yet refined reds such as Grenache and Tempranillo. Farming is sustainable, and winemaking is restrained—wild ferments, gentle handling and careful use of oak ensure purity of fruit and balance. The wines are contemporary and expressive, combining approachability with a depth that reflects both site and craftsmanship.
Jericho has quickly established itself as part of South Australia’s new wave of thoughtful producers, offering wines that are elegant, vibrant and true to place.
