Orbagna / Jura // France

New to Temple Cellars (and for the first time in Singapore) is this beauty from Katie Worobeck, one of Jura's brightest young talents.

Chardonnay from old vines planted over red clay and limestone in Les Varrons, a prestigious parcel next to all her wine heroes.

Sadly though, it also marks the end of a (incredibly brief) era. The 2022 vintage is the last wine Katie has made from Les Varrons.

From an incredibly difficult year that was warm and dry, this is a layered, nuanced wine of subtle power and real finesse.

Given the incredible demand for Katie's wines, count yourself lucky if you snag one of these!

Please note that there is a limit of 1 bottle per person.
About the Producer

In just a handful of vintages Katie Worobeck has announced herself as one of the Jura’s brightest young talents.

Hailing from Canada, Katie developed an interest in wine and organic farming whilst studying. Upon moving to France, she landed her dream job with the legendary Anne and Jean-François Ganevat in Jura.

After five years working alongside them, Katie struck out on her own and now tends a picturesque and secluded 3 hectares surrounded by forest in Au Carre high in the picturesque hills around Grusse.

Passionate about soil health and sustainable agriculture, Katie's approach is to work alongside nature, farming organically with biodynamic principles. She has begun planting trees and shrubs amongst the vines and plans to rotate livestock amongst the parcels to promote diversity.

Wines are made in an old cave underneath her home in the village of Orbagna. Here she works with great attention to detail. Pressing is done manually, élevage takes place in old barrels of various sizes and all movement is done by gravity. The wines are bottled unfiltered with no additions.

The name of her project - Maison Maenad - is derived from the stories of Dionysus, the god of wine and pleasure. “He has these amazon type women who are with him in the stories, and their name is the maenads,” she explains. “These crazy wild free women are called the maenads."

There is a lightness of touch and finesse that pervades Katie’s work, resulting in delicate, pure and thoughtful wines we love.
