Jauma “Audrey” Clarendon Shiraz 2016

We feel very privileged to be allocated these wines.
James Erskine of Jauma Wines in South Australia, is crafting wines with incredible vitality, sex appeal and dangerous drinkability. These wines reflect place, soul, funk, passion and this it be declared, a new zeitgeist! He picks on acids first and foremost, when the acid makes the transition away from hard-edged and softens a touch is the day to pick. He is looking for a welcoming comfort in the fruit and not tight fruit as his use of stems during fermentation will add more tension. He never utilizes pumpovers or punchdowns but rather letting the fruit sit gently on the stems and skins for a while.

Named after James’ daughter Audrey Gaia, this wine lives up to her ‘mother of nature’ name quite well. There’s They’re extremely well made, full of love, and beautiful to drink. Everything this year is under crown seal, and there is no preservative added at any point. A rockstar Shiraz that will utterly change your mind on Aussie wine.

ORGANIC and NATURAL.
