Why Try So Hard?

James Erskine has shaken this one up a little putting together a blend of Chenin Blanc, Muscat, and carbonic Grenache. It’s exactly as that trio sounds, with Jauma in charge. A little blushing, wildly juicy and beautifully textured.  Jauma who – James & Sophie Erskine (owners/winemakers), Fiona Wood (farmer)where – Farm and winery in Lenswood, Adelaide Hills, Australiavineyards – fruit sourced from organically farmed vineyards in McLaren Vale and Clarendon. Vines dating back to the 1940s.winemaking – preservative/additive free for all wines.  labor practices – from James: Every year we are assessed by NASAA our certifying agency for organic farming - in the certifying process we must also demonstrate social justice pracitices or no certification is issued. Regarding contractors we work with, Fiona now manages all the vineyard work and employs the same contract team for all vineyard management which Fiona or the vineyard owners pay for. We have worked with this team now for 6 years.
