1 x Pare "Jericho Family Vineyard" Grenache 2023 - McLaren Vale, Australia

95/100 Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion
93/100 Aaron Brasher, The Real Review

Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion 'There are two grenaches in the Pare range. Both are from Blewitt Springs, but they are strikingly individual. This, my pick, from vines planted in 1955 to Maslin Sands in what winemaker Ansel Ashby says is one of the coolest sites in the district. About half whole bunch and older, larger oak. Fragrant and pure of fruit, the reserve is key, with such refinement and no cheap thrills. Red fruited, a lilt of rosy florals, a dusting of spices – freshly ground cinnamon, sumac, clove, white pepper – warm terracotta, dried cranberry, the palate supple, with a fine scaffolding of grape tannins. It’s a very fine debut."

Aaron Brasher, The Real Review "Pretty and lifted aromas of violets, dried herbs, cherry liqueur, bramble and raspberry. Juicy, layered and mouth-filling. There's plenty of plush red and blue fruits along with spice, under-brush and florals. The tannins are shapely and the acidity is crunchy and both bring ample shape to the wine. Smart gear."

Australian Financial Review – Max Allen "Winemaker Ansel Ashby launched his first label, Gatch, in 2016 to produce wines that
were “fun, delicious, and not pretentious” – everyday drinking white and red that didn’t focus on variety or provenance. His latest venture, Pare, set up with business partner Andrew Williams, takes the opposite tack: serious, single-varietal wines from single, named vineyards. There are two grenaches in the line-up, both from blocks of old, dry-grown vines in the prized Blewitt Springs area of McLaren Vale. ....my pick is the Jericho. Vines planted in 1955, wild ferment with 50 per cent whole bunches, then 10 months’ maturation in old puncheons all result in a pure, floral, polished expression of grenache with a sprinkling of spice and fine, porcelain tannins. Quite seductive."

Pare wines was born from a friendship and desire to craft the finest wines from the Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale. Our wines are all single vineyard expressions of Chardonnay and Grenache. Each wine is hand crafted, using pared back winemaking to express the vineyards in their truest form.

The Jericho Family vineyard was planted to Grenache in 1955. The soil is classic Maslin Sand from the elevated Blewitt Springs subregion of McLaren Vale. This is one of the coolest sites in Blewitt Springs. The resulting wine shows floral notes, blue fruit, and spice.
