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.
The Cosmic Cat is a blend of Shiraz and Grenache from two McLaren Vale vineyards, both dry grown and organically farmed. The 2021 vintage brought mild conditions and a longer growing season, allowing slow ripening and excellent natural balance. The fruit was destemmed and fermented wild in open vats with a short maceration to emphasise perfume and crunch. Aged in old barrels and bottled without fining, filtering or additions, it is silky, vibrant and featherlight, with wild cherry, blood orange, liquorice root and cracked pepper. Juicy and joyously alive.
