d'Arenberg "The Stump Jump" Lightly Wooded Chardonnay (Australia) LCBO# 173302 $13.75 Locate

This optometrist eye chart inspired de-sign doubles as a make shift sobriety test. If you hold the bottle at arm’s length and you can still read the bottom line you can have another glass. (This statement is of humorous nature and not to be considered a test of blood alcohol for the purpose of driving a vehicle, working machinery or constructing flat pack furniture.)

THE NAME: The name ‘Stump Jump’ pays homage to a significant South Australian invention – the Stump Jump plough. It was adopted worldwide in the late 19th century because of its ability to ride over stumps and gnarled roots, saving time and energy.. 

THE WINE: Wonderfully aromatic with white peaches, honeydew melon and fresh, green apples on the nose. Nectarines and fresh lime are balanced by a lovely custard-like mouth feel. The oak is very subtle and provides texture with a touch of spice.
