Tasting Notes
A voluminous, sweet fruit, mulberry, raspberry, spicy and earthy nose leads
through to the palate showing the same flavors as the aromas. A great round
glycerol sweetness fills the mouth with a touch of fresh, ripe fruit tannins on the
aftertaste.
Once picked, the fruit is gently crushed in our ‘Demoisy’ open mouthed, rubber
toothed crusher and pumped into traditional headed down fermenters.
Following fermentation, The Stump Jump Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre is gently
pressed by our nineteenth Century “Coq” and “Bromely & Tregoning” basket
presses prior to oak maturation.
This is a rich, soft and flavorsome red in the traditional McLaren Vale style
highlighting lifted rose petal aromas and dense flavors of 90 year old
mourvedre. Best served at room temperature, this wine will gain complexity
with careful cellaring over the next 2-5 years. Background
The Osborns are proud to release The Stump Jump range of premium McLaren Vale
wines, so named as the land for many of the region’s old vineyards was originally
cleared using the Stump Jump plough. This South Australian invention enabled the
ploughshare to jump over the gnarled “mallee” Eucalypt roots, saving valuable time
and resources.
