d'Arenberg Stump Jump Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Petit Verdot 2020
Details
Experience a sensory journey with the d'Arenberg Stump Jump Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2020, an exceptional vintage steeped in rich tradition and modern winemaking innovation. This mesmerising blend pays homage to history while it takes you on a unique tasting adventure.
The Stump Jump Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2020 derives its name from the Stump Jump plough, a revolutionary piece of machinery that could leap over tree roots, invented by a visually impaired individual. This historic tale finds its representation on the bottle label, designed to mimic an optometrist’s eye chart. This clever design also doubles as a whimsical sobriety test—if you can still read the label at arm's length, you're good for another glass!
Created with grapes primarily sourced from ancient bush vines, the production process respects time-honoured techniques. The grapes undergo gentle crushing, open tank fermentation, basket pressing and oak maturation before the exquisite elixir is ready for bottling.
The 2020 vintage offers quality that far surpasses the reduced yields due to a cooler flowering season and a brief heatwave. Despite these climatic challenges, the grapes thrived, resulting in some of the most exceptional wines seen in recent memory. The colour, fruit characters, flavours and length of the wine all stand as testament to the extraordinary quality of this vintage.
Pour a glass of the Stump Jump Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2020, and you're met with a deep crimson-purple liquid, revealing the complexity of the blend. The Cabernet Sauvignon provides the structure, with notes of red capsicum, mulberries and liquorice. The Merlot adds softness and roundness, evoking hints of strawberries and fresh cherries. The addition of Petit Verdot imparts a savoury complexity, bringing forth spicy, herbal notes. This blend's superb balance is further highlighted by soft, silky tannins.
The d'Arenberg Stump Jump Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2020 is a stunning blend, perfect for every occasion. Whether you're a seasoned oenophile or a wine novice, this vintage will add a touch of sophistication to your cellar and your table. Discover the exquisite journey with each pour.
