The Stump Jump GSM 2018, D’Arenberg

The Shiraz offers dark plum fruits, mulberries and licorice with plenty of concentration, depth and velvety tannin. The Grenache adds a lovely lusciousness to the wine with raspberry, blueberry and floral notes adding prettiness. Both of the aforementioned varieties also give a little white pepper character which has been accentuated in the cooler vintage and really acts as a point of interest. Finally, the Mourvèdre provides a perception of elegance and restraint through its red fruits with a hint of dried herb and fine chalky tannin.
