The Character

Tasting Notes The nose opens with dark notes of black cherries and hints of cassis. The palate is loaded with black fruits, plums, mulberries with some aniseed and peppery spices. Fresh cherry and red berries. Fine and persistent tannins give this wine a sense of opulence. Very approachable in its youth. A wine built to drink in its early days. A wonderful expression of McLaren Vale Shiraz.

The Story

The name ‘Stump Jump’ refers to the significant South Australian invention – the Stump Jump plough. This popular piece of machinery pulled by a draught horse could ride over stumps, snags and gnarled “mallee” Eucalypt roots, saving valuable time. The grapes used in this wine are mostly from very old bush
vines, and underwent gentle crushing, traditional open-tank fermentation, basket pressing and oak maturation prior to bottling.

About D Arenberg

Producer Story

d’Arenberg is one of the undisputed kings of Australian Shiraz and other Rhone varieties that have historically defined the region. A century on, their vineyards have grown to some 450 acres in McLaren Vale, including Shiraz dating back to d’Arenberg’s first plantings in 1912, and nearly one-third of McLaren Vale’s old bush-vine Grenache. Fourth generation winemaker, Chester Osborn, recently converted all of the family’s vineyards to organics and biodynamics and moved to solar energy in the winery. All the while, in terms of winemaking, not much has changed—all the wines are basket-pressed, the reds foot-trodden during fermentation; everything is done in small batches.
