d’Arenberg The Stump Jump Lightly Wooded Chardonnay 2022 McLaren Vale – 12 Bottles

WINERY INFORMATION d’Arenberg is a family owned winery and cellar door located in McLaren Vale, South Australia. The winery was built in 1927 under the ownership of second generation winemaker – Frank Osborn. The company was founded by Joseph Osborn in 1912, and is presently owned by his grandson, Francis. Francis’ son, Chester joined the winemaking team as Chief Winemaker in 1983, and redeveloped the family cellars and vineyards. TASTING NOTES The Stump Jump Lightly Wooded Chardonnay presents a pale straw colour with bright green tinges along the edges. A whiff of the wine reveals scintillating aromas of Granny Smith apples and citrus, accompanied by a subtle brininess. These vibrant fragrances are replicated on the fresh and crunchy palate, where they are joined by enticing flavours of hazelnut and brioche. All these elements fuse together to provide a creamy texture. This wonderful Chardonnay culminates in a taut, savoury and lengthy finish. It pairs best with roast chicken, fresh fish and crunchy salads.
