Jauma is the project of James Erskine, one of the pioneers of natural wine in Australia. Based in McLaren Vale, South Australia, James works with dry-farmed organic vineyards planted on ancient soils, with a strong focus on regenerative agriculture and community. Since the early 2010s, Jauma has become known for joyful, transparent wines that reflect site, climate and vintage with absolute honesty. His style is intuitive and gentle, relying on native yeasts, no additions and élevage in old wood or stainless steel. Everything is harvested by hand and handled with care, from vineyard to bottle.
Fairygarten is a single site Shiraz from Jauma’s own bush vines on sandy ironstone soils in Blewitt Springs, a cool and elevated corner of McLaren Vale. The 2022 vintage was long and late, yielding fruit with precise acidity and lifted aromatics. Whole bunches were wild fermented with a very gentle infusion to keep the texture light and tannins fine. The wine aged in old French barrels and was bottled with no sulphur, fining or filtration. The result is fragrant and vivid, with notes of violet, damson, rosehip and black tea, underpinned by iron minerality and a whisper of spice. A meditative, silken wine.
