Very well made natural wine and I just point out this is a natural wine for those who still doubt that they can be this focus, this defined, this delicious.
It has a beautiful fruit that moves between a sour cherry and a raspberry; still a bit musty as a good Grenache should be and has a good quality of mineral. Very fresh too.
It’s persistent and doesn’t have any of those confectionery notes that most of Grenache used to have here in Australia
I am very happy with this ✌️😉

Raspberry and Violet notes. Fresh and tangy. Raspberry also on palate with medium intensity. Soft tannins with a short but enjoyable future. A natural wine using indigenous yeasts, whole bunch and preservative free. Dare I say "hipster ". These wines are delicious now with no point in cellaring.

Pale Ruby. Fresh primary and juicy like just crushed Grape juice. A very hand made wine from James Erskine made in small volumes. Notes of raspberry, violets, stewed plums and earth - an old worldly note of grandmas cupboard. Low acid and low powdery fine tannins. A joy to drink - particularly on warm days at lunch. Drink now. Delicious and a different take on 100% Grenache.

They say "what grows together goes together," but that's oversimplified BS. I'll be darned if this wasn't perfect with a kangaroo burger though. At 14% alcohol it isn't a lightweight like many of the new Australia wines, but its freshness and bright fruit keep it charming without getting goopy.

Candied blackberry surrounded by lavender and violets with great lift. Made well, vibrant, but not my style.

Showing the fragrant, gentle side of Grenache. Vibrant, pure-fruited and lipsmackingly delicious. Perfect example of the evolution/revolution in winemaking approach in Australia.

Jauma 2014. Fresh, vibrant, terrific fruit /acid interplay. Love to drink it, a fun play on Grenache.
