The Name
It is rumored that the inventor of the Stump Jump plough, which enabled a ploughshare to jump over tree roots, had poor eyesight and required regular tests to ensure he could still operate machinery.
The design of this label is inspired by an optometrist’s eyechart and serves as a makeshift sobriety test. If you can hold the bottle at arm’s length and still read the front label, you can enjoy another glass.
The Winemaking
The grapes used in this wine are mostly from very old bush vines, and underwent gentle crushing, traditional open tank fermentation, basket pressing and oak maturation prior to bottling.
An array of dark, sweet and savory notes, pepper. The palate adds mulberry, raspberry with beautiful lifted spice and mineral grit.
The fine, powdery, gritty tannins are fruit derived and lively, making for a long finish. There’s no shortage of flavor here.
