d'Arenberg The Stump Jump Shiraz 2017

A beautifully fragrant, restrained yet balanced expression of McLaren Vale Shiraz. The nose is bursting with raspberry, strawberry, mulberry and spice. The palate is juicy and silken. Pure fruit, fresh acid and super supple tannins all in harmony. This wine, from a lighter, spicier year, presents as immediately drinkable. 14% ABV.

D’Arenberg’s cherry-hued Shiraz is a balanced, medium-bodied weeknight sipper. It’s open and fragranced, like a bowl of freshly picked cherries, raspberries and strawberries. There’s a line of baking spices, dried rose and ground black pepper that make this more than just a fruit bomb, however. Lifted acidity makes the fruit feel fresh, even a touch sour at the finish. Tannins are spicy and structured, and the texture is silky. Drink now with a slice of pizza in hand.
