d'Arenberg Stump Jump Shiraz (75cl, 14.5%)

A red wine from McLaren Vale, South Australia, made from 100% Shiraz. d'Arenberg has made wine in McLaren Vale for over a century under four generations of the Osborn family. The Stump Jump Shiraz is foot-trodden in small-batch open fermenters, then basket-pressed. The fruit comes from old bush vines across McLaren Vale and is matured in oak. The nose shows ripe strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, cherry, baking spice, cracked pepper, mint and tobacco. The palate is plush and fruit-forward with blueberry, cherry, wild strawberry, mulberry, black olive skin, graphite, iron and mocha. The finish is moderate, with soft tannins, licorice, dark berry and peppery spice.
