Grenache, pressed quickly and bottled with low residual sugar. Lots of happy microbes in the vineyard meant that there was lots of action in the bottle, so the wines needed to be disgorged. Then, the wine rested for six months. Clean fruit - red apple, golden pear, white cranberry. James Erskine and his partner Sophie are Jauma. It has been a huge year for the winery that is widely accepted to be one of the first, true representatives of Australia’s natural wine movement. Not only are they still working with organic fruit from the Mclaren Vale, but they have planted their home plot amidst their blossoming cherry orchard, and have moved their winery home after 11 years of tireless work outside. They are incredible members of the community, hosting retreats at their place, implementing pay it forward programs that donate part of their revenue to community orgs and putting on amazing markets and festivals for people in the community. They are real-deal, give-it-back kinda people who also happen to make incredible wine. No adds, ever.
