2024 Jauma Sand on Schist Sparkling Chenin

About The Wine

A complex, fresh and textural sparkling Chenin Blanc.

This three-acre, east-facing, 17-year-old Blewitt Springs site is in its seventh year of organic management and is co-run by gun viticulturist Fiona Wood. The soils are deep white sand over clay with schist.

The fruit is pressed directly to tank for partial fermentation and bottled with 28g/L residual sugar. James then disgorges and tops with barrel-aged Chenin Blanc from the previous vintage, lending an extra dimension of complexity to this fresh, textural sparkling. No sulphur added.

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.
