d'arenberg the stump jump white assemblage 2018

the family estate, founded in 1912, recently celebrated its 100th anniversary and the house has not aged a bit! on the contrary! in the heart of mclaren vale, 4 generations of osborns have contributed to the growth and reputation of arenberg, making modern wines while respecting tradition. with his flamboyant personality, winemaker chester osborn has mastered the "art of being different", arenberg's philosophy. the man who is often described as a wine rock star enjoys an international popularity that is matched only by the reputation of excellence, quality and originality of the wines he produces. preceded and assisted by his father d'arry, founder of arenberg, the wines of the star winemaker are always proudly singular and distinguished. in the great bay of st. vincent in the indian ocean, the landscape of mclaren vale is surreal on a first visit: as one moves away from the turquoise of the ocean, the bright reds and ochres of the land gradually become overlaid with the soft greens of the vines. the lushness of the trees, with little parrots and cockatoos, is in contrast to the road trip feeling of the far west, with its long straight roads and dusty grounds. d'arenberg the stump jump white assemblage 2018 has a basket of fruit aromas and flavors offering depth and complexity. the aromas are expressive with notes of white flowers, honey and pears, sweet tropical fruits, as well as citrus fruits such as grapefruit. the wine is on the aromatic palette of riesling and sauvignon blanc brings freshness and liveliness while marsanne and roussane give it both fat and minerality. it is a very refreshing wine on the palate and not devoid of complexity. our business is to satisfy you.
