Description

Natural wine lovers gather around for this one.

Lo-fi legend James Erskine takes McLaren Vale Grenache and Shiraz and transposes them into a bright, aromatic and crunchy little number with a wild streak.

Just like the winery cat it's named after, it's an easy wine to be enamoured by.

This refreshing red may open with a slight spritz, but fear not! This fine fizz is all part of the fun and should dissipate before you can say "Tikka Tingles".

2023 Tikka the Cosmic Cat, Shiraz (75%) Grenache (25%),



VINES- Clarendon vineyard farmed organically by Fiona Wood. Grey sand on ironstone. Dry grown, 230m elevation.



WINEMAKING- Shiraz and Grenache harvested and fermented separately. Shiraz fermented on skins with 10% wholebunch. Grenache is destemmed, fermented to dry on skins. All aged in older French puncheons.



TASTING NOTES- Lively deep mulberry in colour. Powerful aromatics of plums, crushed rock and spice. Medium bodied with a satiny mouthfeel. 12.5%



All Jauma Wines are Living Wines, made with zero additions or filtration, and bottled under crown seal for perfect freshness and stability.

Jauma

James Erskine has been one of the most influential voices in the Australian natural wine movement for more than two decades. An award-winning-sommelier turned world-renowned winemaker, James founded Jauma in 2010 with an eye to crafting honest, thought-provoking wines made purely from nothing but grapes.

In the world of Jauma, nothing is added and nothing is taken away during the winemaking process. The transparency and translation of the vineyard into the glass are the ultimate aims.

Erskine's meticulous approach and unyielding standards have produced some of the most talked-about wines of his generation. They are startlingly pure and have an ephemeral energy about them. They often sell out in the blink of an eye. They are everything that is magical and magnetic about the world of natural wine.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
