The Stump Jump Sauvignon Blanc pays homage to a significant piece of South Australian history: the stump-jump plough. Invented in the late 19th century in South Australia, this ingenious device allowed ploughshares to automatically ride over stubborn tree stumps and rocks, saving countless hours of backbreaking labor and revolutionizing local agriculture. d'Arenberg's Sauvignon Blanc captures this spirit of practical Australian ingenuity. Sourced from select vineyards across South Australia, including cooler sites that preserve the grape's natural acidity, this wine is crafted to be fresh, aromatic, and highly approachable. Vinified primarily in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to retain its vibrant fruit profile, it showcases bright citrus, gooseberry, and tropical fruit notes, backed by a crisp, clean finish that reflects the sun-drenched yet maritime-influenced terroirs of the region.
