Tasting Notes
Honestly, I am slightly disappointed. Not bad, but also lacking. It's fizzy, and maybe it explains why in some sources it's called still, while in others - sparkling. Notes of brett, berries, dried herbs, flowers, kōcha kinoko and rotten apricots. No wonder flies started to attack this bottle. So why am I disappointed? I expected more from this prominent winemaker. I will definitely try other wines from Jauma. I am also looking forward tasting their estate wine.
About
Harvested from the early ripening crown of Ralph Woods' dry grown shiraz ridge in Clarendon. This ironstone rich outcrop combined with an early harvest choice, carbonic fermentation in the winery and a slight spritz produces a super vibrant and pretty wine backed up with lashings of minerality. Roses, raspberries and tangy sherbet.
