A treasure winery in Australia's most fertile valley, a blend of Marsanne, Roussanne, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc vinified in stainless steel tanks and their combination with the most innovative and talented winemaker in the wider region have produced a masterpiece wine that makes a difference and it smells like New World from miles!
D'Arenberg Winery is located in one of South Australia's most picturesque wine regions, McLaren Vale. Its story begins in 1912, when Joseph Osborn purchased the estate and with a foundation of innovation, began the creation of one of Australia's most iconic wineries. Today it has passed into the hands of the 4th generation, Chester Osborn, who is committed to producing very distinctive and expressive wines. The visiting area of the winery does not go unnoticed, since it is a super futuristic building, with extremely innovative architecture and brings art and science, one step closer to the vineyard and the wine. The famous d'Arenberg Cube!
They use solar panels, and about 70% less plastic, while the operation is based on certified organic and biodynamic principles according to Sustainable Winegrowing Australia (SWA). The vines are barely irrigated and the roots spread everywhere in the vineyard in search of food, the yields are small but concentrated, with excellently structured tannins and excellent natural acidity. Some techniques remain traditional, and a large part of the grapes are still pressed in large open presses!
Fun fact: Rumor has it that the person who made the plow (Stump Jump) to pass over the roots and not injure the plant, did not see well at all and often visited the ophthalmologist for the well-known test! Which is also reflected on the label!
Of course, we left the best for last. The family in 2009, was one of the first to found Australia's First Families of Wine, a group of pioneering wine families in the region who decided to tell the story of quality Australian wine around the world, but through their own eyes. In other words, through their personal experiences, 48 whole generations! So, they have a lot to say!
And now honestly. With all of the above, hasn't this awesome guy already piqued your curiosity? Get a little idea with The Stump Jump White - d'Arenberg and so on...!
