D'ARENBERG THE STUMP JUMP LIGHTLY WOODED CHARDONNAY 2008

A new release from d'Arenberg, this (the clue's in the name) lightly wooded Chardonnay again takes the drinker back to the days when Australia knew how to use oak to enhance the flavour and complexity of the wine, not replace it! Lovely tropical and stone fruit flavours complete the picture.

Was ~~£7.99~~ now £6.95!!!!

VINEYARD
Parcels of fruit are selected from d'Arenberg's vinyards in the Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale.

Chardonnay had a great year in McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills in 2008. Healthy rains in winter and spring set up the vines perfectly and allowed for stress free conditions from veraison to harvesting.

Cool temperatures in February meant that intensity of flavour ripeness was achieved at low level of pH and high levels of natural acidity.

GRAPE VARIETIES
100% Chardonnay

VINIFICATION
Once they have been gently crushed, the grapes are basket pressed to softly extract the juice from the skins.

24% of the juice is partially or fully fermented in a mixture of older French and American oak to add a touch of spice and mouth feel.

Once fermentation is complete the winemakers taste all batches to determine which will suit this style of Chardonnay.

TASTING NOTE
Melons, yellow peach, pear and stone fruits on the nose give away the style of this fresh easy drinking Chardonnay.

The palate picks up from the nose with refreshing tropical fruits and more yellow peach and pears.
The mid palate is beautifully creamy with good weight and the small amount of barrel fermentation adds a touch of integrated spice.

Fruity and fresh you need nothing more than a glass to enjoy this wine but it will also go well with a variety of foods including fresh fish, salads and chicken.
