Aroma
Explosive aromas of jasmine floral and zesty citrus leap from the glass.
Palate
The palate is spritely and energetic, with generous fruit that frames a firm lime citrus core. Preserved lemon, lime and hints of white peach flesh, flow through the palate and linger well after the wine is gone.

Wine 4
d,Arenberg, The Stump Jump, 2020
Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvedre
McLaren Vale, South Australia
A ruby red hue.
The nose is fresh with red berries and Indian spices that make for a very approachable wine. A green note sits in the back, bringing a sense of liveliness.
Some maraschino cherries, fresh capsicum and a herbaceous touch adds a vibrant lift to the palate. A little softer, and a little lighter than is typical of this wine, making this an easy drinking and approachable vintage to enjoy.
