Description
WINEMAKER: Jean-Baptiste Courdesses
REGION: Adelaide Hills, SA
VARIETAL: Tempranillo
VITICULTURE: Organic
Tempranillo from the majestic amphitheater vineyard in Hope Forest, Adelaide Hills. This beautiful East-West facing, sloped vineyard is farmed organically by David Gartelmann. The vines there thrive on a mixture of clay, alluvial rocks & sand and reach perfect phenolic ripeness in this cool climate pocket. The grapes are hand-picked & carbonically macerated for a week, then foot-stomped & left for a day before getting pressed the following morning. The juice is then fermented in stainless & barriques.
After years lapsing around the world making wine / beer /sake / farming, Jean-Baptiste Courdesses created a winery in Basket Range since 2020, crafting wines exclusively from organically grown grapes, focus on regenerative practice and made naturally without any additions, fining nor filtration but only grape juice : Pur Jus Wines. Based on intuitive reaction & natural instincts decisions, our wines reflect the place and the character of the grape variety only permitted by a farming respectful of the environment and the fauna, flora.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
