2022 Jauma 'Birdsey Seaview' Cabernet Franc

About The Wine

Everything you could want from a Cab Franc, the whole colour spectrum of fruit with delightful floral aromatics, bramble and subtle spice.

Another site that James has been working with for over a decade now and he let us know that this year’s fruit is the most delicious he’s seen during that time. The Seaview site is owned by Peter Birdsey and lies at 90 metres elevation, is just 80 metres from the ocean and is home to 37-year-old vines.

It’s a low yielding site, crops rarely exceed two tonnes per acre and the soils are red sand over yellow clay. 90% of the fruit is destemmed and the fruit is fermented wild before the free run is sent to four older puncheons and one newer 500 litre barrel. After 10 months the wine was bottled.

About Jauma  

From leading sommelier to one of the quintessential natty wine makers in Australia. James Erskine and his team produce wines that speak purely of the grape and terroir of which they are farmed. This is achieved through minimal intervention, no new oak and minimal sulphur. We find Jauma’s wines range from fun and smashable to elevated and thought provoking.
