D'Arenberg The Stump Jump Riesling/Marsanne
$13.95
This is a blend of a lot of different varieties - Riesling, Marsanne, Sauvignon Blanc, Rousanne
Vintage 2011
Southern Australia

The Vintage Cellar says:
An intoxicating mix of ripe, yellow peaches, guava and hints of honey blossoms on the nose. The tropical stone fruits are also evident on the palate but give up a little territory to some lovely, zesty lemon, lime citrus characters which really add to the freshness of this wine.

I love this wine!!!! It's getting put on on the top of my 'to buy when I have money sometime--eventually' list. The smell was sweet and summery. The peaches are obvious and so is the overall tropical feel. It has a fresh, grassy taste with honey and, of course, peach. The texture is what really won me over. It has a bubbly feel that is close to a champagne. It's a dry wine; I'm a fan of those.

This wine is perfect alone. Whenever. Wherever. However.
