Tasting Notes

Das Juice White 2024 opens with grassy Sauvignon Blanc lift, citrus peel, green apple, white peach and a subtle wildflower note. The palate is dry and crisp, with Savagnin adding gentle savoury texture and a mineral backbone. It finishes clean, fresh and mouth-watering, with a lightly saline edge and enough grip to make it a beautiful food wine.

Winemaking

This wine was fermented spontaneously using low-intervention methods, then raised in a mix of old oak and stainless steel. It is unfined and unfiltered, keeping the texture intact while preserving the freshness of the fruit. Sulphur is kept low at 30 mg/L, and the wine finishes dry with residual sugar under 1 g/L.

Vineyard & Vintage

The fruit comes from an uncertified organic / biodynamic vineyard in the Adelaide Hills, planted to vines with an average age of 20 years. The soils are clay, quartz and sandstone, which suit the wine’s crisp, mineral-driven profile. The 2024 blend is 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Savagnin, bringing together grassy aromatics, citrus freshness and a savoury, textural finish.

Why We Love It

We love this because it captures the easy charm of Das Juice without losing detail. It is fresh, dry and mineral, but not plain; the Savagnin gives it just enough texture and savoury interest to lift it beyond a simple crisp white. It is also vegan, low sulphite and made with a thoughtful, low-intervention approach.

Food Pairing

Das Juice White 2024 suits food with freshness, salt, herbs and citrus. Think bright vegetarian dishes, seafood, crunchy salads, fried snacks and anything with a squeeze of lemon or a little chilli heat.

Producer

Das Juice is the South Australian natural wine project from James Audas and Tom Sheer, the pair behind Lo-Fi Wines. Their wines are sourced from organic and biodynamic vineyards, with a focus on good farming, wild fermentation, minimal intervention and everyday drinkability. The range began as a way to make natural wine more accessible without stripping away personality. Das Juice White 2024 continues that idea beautifully: carefully grown fruit, low sulphur, unfined and unfiltered winemaking, and a clean, modern white-wine profile that still has texture and interest.

FAQ

What does Das Juice White 2024 taste like?

Das Juice White 2024 tastes crisp, grassy and mineral-driven, with citrus peel, green apple, white peach and a lightly savoury finish. Sauvignon Blanc gives it aromatic lift and freshness, while Savagnin adds texture and a more mineral, food-friendly edge. It is bright and dry rather than tropical or sweet.

Is Das Juice White 2024 sweet or dry?

This is a dry white wine, with residual sugar under 1 g/L. The fruit is fresh and lively, but the palate finishes clean, crisp and mineral. It is a good choice for drinkers who prefer dry, refreshing whites.

What is the body, acidity and texture like?

It is light to medium-bodied with bright acidity and a gently textural finish. The unfiltered, unfined style gives the wine a little more shape than a standard crisp white. The old oak does not make the wine taste oaky; it simply supports texture.

How should I serve this wine?

Serve Das Juice White 2024 chilled at around 8–10°C. A standard white wine glass works beautifully, especially one with enough room to let the grassy, citrus and mineral notes open. No decanting is needed, though letting it sit in the glass for a few minutes will show more texture.

Does this wine contain preservatives or sulphites?

Das Juice White 2024 is low sulphite, with 30 mg/L sulphites. It is not a No Added Preservative wine, so it should not be described as preservative-free. Like most wines, it may also contain naturally occurring sulphites from fermentation.

Is Das Juice White 2024 vegan friendly?

Yes, Das Juice White 2024 is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It is unfined, which means no animal-derived fining agents were used for clarification. For more plant-based options, explore our vegan wines.

Is this wine organic or biodynamic?

The vineyard is farmed organically / biodynamically, but the grape certification is listed as uncertified. That means it should be described as from an organic / biodynamic vineyard rather than certified organic. The wine still sits comfortably in the low-intervention, better-farmed natural wine space.

What food pairs best with this wine?

Its grassy freshness and citrusy acidity work beautifully with seafood, crunchy salads, fried tofu, charred greens and fresh herb dishes. It is especially good with lime, lemon, coriander, basil, chilli and salty snacks. Try it with fish tacos, salt and pepper tofu, zucchini fritters or Vietnamese-style noodle salad.

Can this wine be cellared?

This wine is best enjoyed young. Drink it now or within 1–2 years to capture its citrus, green herb and mineral freshness. It is made for energy and refreshment, not long-term ageing.

Who will enjoy this wine?

This is a lovely choice for drinkers who enjoy crisp Sauvignon Blanc, dry Riesling or textural natural whites. If you like white wines that are fresh, grassy, mineral and a little more savoury than mainstream Sauvignon Blanc, this is a strong match. It also suits anyone curious about natural wine but wanting something clean and approachable.

Is Das Juice White 2024 keto friendly?

Yes. With residual sugar under 1 g/L, Das Juice White 2024 is a very dry, low-sugar white wine. As always, suitability depends on your personal keto goals and serving size.
