You might call this Jauma’s signature wine. And what a wine! James has been working with this organic, dry-grown site for ten years now. Located in Clarendon and perched at 280 metres, the site is owned by Ralph Wood and is farmed organically by Fiona Wood. The own-rooted, dry-grown bush vines are now thirty-plus years old and sit on shallow grey sandy soils over ironstone facing east.

The fruit is all destemmed and spends one month on skins before being pressed to a single mature French puncheon. After 12 months, it goes to bottle. From a stellar Grenache year, the 2023 is as good as it gets from this special vineyard: super perfumed, fine but structured and with oh-so-fresh acidity.

Wow! This wine is only ever made in tiny quantities, our allocation this year was just ten dozen… don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Description

About Jauma Wines

The Audrey’s Fairygarten is a bright and juicy iteration of Shiraz with the signature Jauma charisma.

It’s certainly a unique wine, and probably not what you might expect from a McLaren Vale Shiraz. It goes through carbonic maceration, with the berries fermenting in their little grape bodies to bring a bright, vibrant and lively expression of this variety.

Pops of dark cherries, earthy hints and grainy tannin show themselves off, with a crunch of acidity thanks to the early-picked fruit. Chuck it in the fridge or esky if you’re feeling frisky.

Fine Wine Cellars

On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
