Freebie Friday: Win a case of Sauvignon Blanc from Jed Wines

Why would three Australian winemakers travel half-way across the world to make wine in Argentina?

The story of Jed Wines is best told by Tom Egan, Jed Director and one of the winemakers who makes the annual trek.

"When it comes to wine, the environment the grape vine grows obviously plays such a huge role in the resulting wine. What we loved about Argentina is that the climate is so different and so unique (high altitude, irrigation off the Andes, clean air and strong UV light) that the resulting wines are really distinctive. The white wines have a magnificent purity about them and the reds have wonderful silky tannins. We felt that what is happening over in Argentina is a really exciting development in the world of wine and we wanted to be a part of it. So each year we head over to Mendoza, we source grapes from the same vineyards and work together to make the six wines in the Jed portfolio."

Want to try some yourself? Enter this week's Freebie Friday and you could win a case, yes, 12 bottles of Jed Sauvignon Blanc.
