✨ Technical Specifications
The name 'Stump Jump' pays homage to a legendary South Australian invention: the stump-jump plough. Invented in the late 19th century, this ingenious device allowed plowshares to jump over stubborn mallee stumps and rocks, saving countless hours of backbreaking labor and revolutionizing agriculture across the rugged Australian landscape. d'Arenberg's 'The Stump Jump' Riesling captures this spirit of practical innovation and resilience. Sourced from select vineyards across South Australia, this wine is crafted to showcase the bright, energetic, and highly aromatic side of the variety. Vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks without oak contact to preserve its pristine fruit character, it offers a lively bouquet of citrus blossom, green apple, and lime zest, underpinned by a refreshing, crisp acidity that is signature to the region's white wines.
