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.
Like Raindrops is a blend of old vine Grenache parcels from across McLaren Vale, harvested for freshness and aromatic lift. The 2022 season was long and cool, producing fruit with natural poise and clarity. Each parcel was wild fermented separately in open vats, mostly destemmed with short skin contact. After pressing, the wine was aged in a mix of old barrels and stainless steel before being bottled unfined, unfiltered and with no added sulphur. Lithe and luminous, it shows cranberry, redcurrant, white pepper and cherry blossom, wrapped in gentle tannin and a savoury mineral finish. A featherlight Grenache full of energy.
