2008 d'Ardenberg Stump Jump Verdelho


Taste: 5/5
Value: 3/5
Price: $19

I really liked this wine, but it reminded me a lot of Le Lapin Ingenuity, which at $8/bottle is a much better value. Regardless, this wine is nicely floral and tropical on the nose and richly acidic on the palate. "An enticing floral tropical character is noticeable on the nose with white stone fruits, figs, and flower stems in the background. There is good palate weight with pear and lemon characters making way for stone fruits on the mid palate. The acidity and minerality make for a clean and crisp finish."
WS, 85 points - "Soft and refreshing, with pretty apply and leaf flavors. Drink now."
