White Blend, d’Arenberg “The Stump Jump”, AU, 2019

Winemaker's Notes

A delightful pale straw appearance. This wine has a gorgeous fruit profile with fresh pineapple juice leaping from the glass. Wine gums present themselves as well as an almost sweet confectionary like fairy floss aroma. First sip, there’s an explosion of flavour on the front palate which is fresh, crisp, but also juicy – again, more of that fresh crushed pineapple juice and grapefruit. This wine provides a lot of value for its price point.

It is rumoured that the inventor of the Stump Jump plough, which enabled a ploughshare to jump over tree roots, had poor eyesight and required regular tests to ensure he could still operate machinery. The design of this label is inspired by an optometrist’s eyechart and serves as a makeshift sobriety test. If you can hold the bottle at arm’s length and still read the front label, you can enjoy another glass.
