The Story Behind The Name
The name ‘Stump Jump’ pays homage to a significant South Australian invention – the Stump Jump plough. As well as clearing the land around McLaren Vale, it was adopted worldwide in the late 19th century because of its ability to ride over stumps and gnarled roots, saving hard working farmers valuable time and energy.
The Characteristics
Like pies and sauce, The Stump Jump Sauvignon Blanc and summer nights go hand in hand.
The wonderfully expressive nose is herbacesous to start with before opening up to gooseberries, passionfruit and pear.
The palate is all a Sauvignon Blanc should be, clean fresh and full of fruit characters that dance across the palate. Passionfruit gooseberries and pear return along with lychee and tropical fruits.
With a well integrated backbone the flavours linger as long as you can resist taking another sip.
