2024 Jauma 'A 1000 Fires'

About The Wine

An awesome textural Chenin Blanc (90%), Sauvignon Blanc (10%) blend. Plenty of crunchy green apple to start with a nice whack of tropical fruit and subtle minerality.

A blend of organically grown Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc. The Chenin fruit is from Lulu Lutz’s vineyard in Blewitt Springs, a site rich in white sands over clay and schist. These east-facing vines have been managed organically for nine of their 17 years. The Sauvignon fruit is from an elevated site (380 metres) in Peter’s Creek, McLaren Vale. The 22-year-old vines face north and stand in clay, quartz and ironstone. The Chenin fruit is destemmed and sits on skins for one day before pressing to a mix of steel and old wood vessels for fermentation. The Sauvignon component was destemmed to amphora and left on skins for 10 months. 

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.
