🌈 New Releases - JAUMA

The 2024 ‘1000 Fires’ is a textural triumph, fruit-forward Chenin Blanc (90%) and Sauvignon Blanc with a gentle lean into the skin contact category. Vibrant & aromatic.

The 2024 ‘Origins’ Arneis is designed for pure enjoyment, carbonically fermented to pump up the fun factor with citrus, green apple and floral notes.

Also available:
2022 ‘Birdsey’ Cabernet Franc
2023 ‘Danby’ Grenache
2023 ‘Why Try So Hard’ Blend
2023 ‘Audrey’s Fairygarten’ Shiraz

Why are they bottled under crown seal?
James first saw still wines bottled under crown seal in Japan and thought: ‘What a brilliant idea.’ He’d seen too many ‘off’ flavours from corks he had previously used. In contrast, the uptake of oxygen is minimised under crown seal and the steel cap can also be recycled.

Plus, as a sommelier, James never enjoyed the practice of opening a wine under screw cap. He felt there was no energetic exchange — whereas with a crown seal, you still need to actively find something to open the bottle, like with a cork.

Why is there a spritz in the wines?
Carbon dioxide is trapped in wines as a bi-product of fermentation. As wines in the cellar warm up in spring, they begin to de-gas, a bit like a soft drink warming on a table, but not all the gas leaves the wines.

Most wineries will degas their wines by bubbling a non-dissolvable gas through the wines before bottling. This process does not suit natural wines and also strips some of the aromatics.

🍇✨ Dive into the wonderful world of L’Octavin wines, where passion and precision come together in every bottle. Crafted by the talented Alice Bouvot in her small Arbois winery in the French Alps, these wines reflect the true spirit of the Jura region.

🌱 Alice works with organic grapes from her 3.6 hectares of vineyards, spread across some of the region’s most prestigious lieux-dits, including En Curon, La Mailloche, and Les Nouvelles. Every vineyard is certified organic and biodynamic by Demeter, ensuring the purest approach to winemaking.

🍷 At l’Octavin, there are no additions – just fermented grape juice, natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and absolutely no sulfur. These wines are raw, unfiltered, and unfined, staying true to the land and the vines.

🍇 In addition to her own estate wines, Alice has a négoce project that allows her to source grapes from other regions and like-minded growers on their way to organic certification, bringing her unmistakable winemaking touch to even more exciting expressions of terroir.

🌱 L’Octavin is a testament to organic, biodynamic, and hands-off winemaking at its finest.

💫 Balestri Valda. Soave for your senses.

Laura and Federico are custodians of a precious patchwork of organically farmed vineyards and olive groves in the heart of Soave. These culminate with an important holding in the tiny cru of Sengialta (‘Sengio’ in local dialect refers to basalt rock). Soils are dark and volcanic, vineyard exposures are southern and at altitudes ranging from 180 - 300m.

They concentrate on low yields from Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave, with winemaking inspired by a respect for their precious terroir and heritage. This place gives the peak expression of native grape Garganega.

Balestri Valda’s wines are alive, textured and pure.

🐝 2022 Balestri Valda Soave Classico

100% Garganega from black basalt soils. Organic. Fermented and aged in stainless steel.

“The 2022 Soave Classico Biologico wafts up with a delicate bouquet as orange zest and wildflowers give way to freshly sliced pear and wet stone. It sweeps across the palate, energetic and full of mineral tension, displaying ripe orchard fruits and pretty inner florals. This finishes with medium length and a salty flourish that lingers on.” - Eric Guido, Vinous

🐝 Balestri Valda Soave Classico DOC ‘Sengialta’

70% old-vine Garganega and 30% reintroduced Trebbiano di Soave. Spontaneously fermented in stainless steel followed by 22 months in 2000 litre old oak on fine lees. A sublime, complex, age-worthy white wine.

“Spicy and floral, opens in the glass with an inviting blend of crushed apples, crystalized ginger and sweet smoke. This is silky and round, nearly opulent in feel, with a core of saline minerals and brisk acids to balance. A salty flourish punctuates the finish, along with hints of lime, creating a savory yet still remarkably fresh impression. Outstanding purity and poise mixed with ripe fruit make the Sengialta a pleasure to taste.” - Eric Guido, Vinous
