D'Arenberg The Stump Jump Lightly Wooded Chardonnay 2022
It is rumored 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.
Tasting Notes: Pale straw-green, exceptionally fruit driven with a fluid line of white peach, nectarine, green apples and honeydew melon. The controlled use of seasoned oak makes this wine generous and fresh with a mouth coating nutty and slightly smoked texture of
hazelnut and almonds. Citrusy acidity with a crunchy bite are followed by a long and
savoury finish. A well-crafted Chardonnay for all Chardonnay lovers.
ABV: 13.5% / RS: 2.6 g/l / Variety: Chardonnay / Origin: McLaren Vale, South Australia
