Wine Family: The Stump Jumps
Tasting Notes:
A ruby red hue. The nose is fresh with red berries and Indian spices that make for a very approachable wine. A green note sits in the back, bringing a sense of liveliness. Some maraschino cherries, fresh capsicum and a herbaceous touch adds a vibrant lift to the palate. A little softer, and a little lighter than is typical of this wine, making this an easy drinking and approachable vintage to enjoy. Drinking well above its price point.
Behind the Name:
It is rumoured that the inventor of the Stump Jump plough, which enabled a ploughshare to jump over tree roots, had poor eyesight and required regular tests to ensure he could still operate machinery. The design of this label is inspired by an optometrist's eyechart and serves as a makeshift sobriety test. If you can hold the bottle at arm's length and still read the front label, you can enjoy another glass.
