D’arenberg Stump Jump White
Name: it is rumoured that the inventor of the stump jump plough which enabled a ploughshare to jump over tree roots had poor eyesight and required regular tests to ensure he could still operate machinery. The design of this label is inspired by an optometrist’s eyechart and serves as a makeshift sobriety test. If you can hold the bottle at arm’s length and still read the front label you can enjoy another glass. The winemaking: the grapes used in this wine underwent gentle crushing temperature controlled fermentation and basket pressing prior to bottling. The vintage: a healthy winter and plenty of spring rains set the vines up very well. Bud burst was on time but very cool for the first part of spring. Shoots grew to 5 or 6 inches long and then stopped for a month. Flowering was quite late by three weeks which meant a late start to harvest and long slow ripening periods. The summer rains stopped in mid-january so disease pressure was low. It was very dry from february to
