Stump Jump Riesling
Country: Australia
Region: McLaren Vale
Grapes: Grape Riesling 100
Tasting Note:
Lovely aromatic wine, fully ripened with extraordinary natural acidities were the norm. The Stump Jump Riesling is loaded with notes of frangipani and citrus. The palate also displays white floral notes, combining nicely with ruby grapefruit and fresh lime characters.
Winemaking:
After passing through the 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 using neutral yeasts that enhance the natural aromatics in temperature controlled vessels.
Food matching:
Cold salads, sashimi.
In 2009, the Australian wine landscape was changed forever when 12 of Australia’s oldest family owned, multi-generational wine businesses came together to form Australia’s First Families of Wine.
A unique collaboration of like-minded families, the intention was to change the narrative about the history, provenance and quality of Australian premium wine, telling the stories behind these families that form the golden thread that connects them.
Since then, Australia’s First Families of Wine have travelled the globe as a collective to share their vinous tales; tales of tribulation and success, experience and commitment. Ultimately it is the passion of over 48 generations of these families and 1380 years of collective winemaking experience that has helped to shape Australia’s wine narrative.
From entry level to iconic, all d’Arenberg wines have been basket pressed, reds and whites, with all red ferments foot trod during fermentation.
Selected d’Arenberg estate and leased vineyards are NASAA Certified for organic and biodynamic processes.

“d’Arenberg is an icon of the McLaren Vale, dating back to 1912. Chief winemaker Chester Osborn is the great-grandson of the founder, Joseph Rowe Osborn. Chester now oversees a stellar (and ever-expanding) range of strangely named and exquisitely crafted red and white wines.
The oldest of the d’Arenberg blocks were first planted in the 1880s with Shiraz, and still contribute to the wines today.”
The McLaren Vale is predominately a red wine region, producing some of the best red wines in South Australia. Vineyards were first planted in the mid 1800s. One of the early pioneers Thomas Hardy established a business that evolved to BRL Hardy, one of the largest wine companies in the country. The region also has a healthy number of boutique wineries that consistently make fine wines and experiment with different wine styles. The climate is warm to hot with dry summers, and benefits from cooling breezes from the St Vincent Gulf. The main wine styles: Red – Shiraz (rich, ripe & generous), Cabernet Sauvignon; White – Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc.
