2008 d'Arenberg Stump Jump Red McLaren Vale South Australia 750ml

Quick Overview

Wine Spectator Top 100: 2010 #63! The name 'Stump Jump' relates to the significant South Australian invention, the Stump Jump plough. This plough became a popular piece of machinery for ploughing fields because of its ability to ride over stumps and gnarled "mallee" Eucalypt roots and snags, saving valuable time and resources by not stopping the draught horse.
