d’Arenberg The Stump Jump GSM

The lifted red fruits expected from Grenache are met with darker fruit characters and lovely spice, the true depth is revealed with layers of gravelly earth, iron and graphite along with liquorice and anise. There is also a pretty nuance of fresh roses and dried petals adding an elegant touch. The palate has immediate impact with pungent, rich dark fruits and earth. The dark plum and mulberry fruit make way for rich, gritty and vibrant fruit tannins which build nicely before slowly fading to reveal oodles of spice and dark earthy fruits. There is considerable structure, restrained power, focus and great depth focus on the finish.

Since 1912 the Osborn family have tended vineyards in McLaren Vale, South Australia. Every vineyard has a personality which we encourage to flourish with minimal intervention in the vineyard and winery. Through time honoured techniques such as open fermentation, foot treading and basket pressing, this personality is allowed to shine. Harmony between environmental sustainability and wine industry practice is a strong commitment upheld at d'Arenberg, with the aim to pass on a sustainable business to the next generation. Today fourth generation family member, Chester, makes distinctive wines using traditional methods both in the vineyard and the winery.
