The Stump Jump Shiraz 2015

The aromas and flavours present as a mix of dark and red fruits – plums, mulberries, blackberries and raspberries. Add to this a healthy dose of rich liquorice and slightly earthy notes, along with a subtle lick of vanilla and baking spice. The mouthfeel is creamy and succulent with just enough tannin to prop the wine up, presenting long and fresh, effortlessly avoiding falling over short of the mark. What a complex and complete wine for the price point, delivering upon release with an expectation to drink well .

This starts shy in comparison to the typical ripe, brashness of South Aussie Shiraz. With time in glass, however, it reveals attractive red fruit notes of tart cherry and raspberry, with vanilla and savory spice. The palate shows tart, almost mouthpuckering red fruit, with a medium body, light, chalky tannins and a slightly soapy finish.
