The Stump Jump: Cool name, cool grapes (including one of my faves, Mourvedre), cool label... can't go wrong bringing this one to a party. A boldly cool choice especially since it tastes great.
$10.99 at Cost Plus / World Market. One of the 2 wines I tend to stock up on (the other being Pillar Box Red).
d'Arenberg
The Stump Jump
2006
McLaren Vale
Grenache 46%
Shiraz 34%
Mourvedre 20%
Do you think they played the rounding game in allocating these percents? Just wondering.
From the back label:
"Land for many of the region's old vineyards was originally cleared using the 'Stump Jump' plough, a South Australian invention which enabled the ploughshare to jump over the gnarly roots of 'mallee' Eucalyptus trees, saving valuable time and resources."
Another note: The Osborn family has been making wine since 1927 at d'Arenberg, their winery in the McLaren Vale.
