The name ‘Stump Jump’ pays homage to a significant South Australian invention – the Stump Jump plough. As well as clearing the land around McLaren Vale, it was adopted worldwide in the late 19th century because of its ability to ride over stumps and gnarled roots, saving farmers valuable time and energy.
The Stump Jump Riesling is crisp and refreshing. The nose is inviting and full of passionfruit, limes, red apple and rose petals. The palate is juicy with a crisp lime character initially present before it opens to lemons and a cascade of tropical fruits. The finish is fresh and clean with wonderfully integrated acidity.
The fruit is selected from eight Riesling vineyards in McLaren Vale. After passing through our extremely gentle ‘Demoisy’ rubber toothed crusher the juice is extracted from the skins via a basket press. This gentle process ensures the wine maintains its natural delicacy.
Fermentation is long and cool (as in temperature, not Fonzie) using neutral yeasts that enhance the natural aromatics in temperature controlled vessels. This gentle handling and minimum intervention allows the full fruit character to emerge.
Perfect for a pre-dinner drink or lazing outside in the sun reading a book.
