The Stoneleigh range consists of distinctive, elegant, fruit-forward Marlborough wines that reflect the unique terroir of our stone-studded vineyards. Started by nature and finished by the talents of the Stoneleigh winemakers, our philosophy of minimum intervention in the winery ensures that the vibrant flavours of Stoneleigh are captured in each and every bottle.

Aroma & Palate

Aromas of fresh orchard fruits and honey are first out of the glass and the lively fruit flavours abound on the palate too.

Stone fruit and sweet pear drops combined with a rich palate weight and a hint of spice to make a joyously soft yet lively wine.

Enjoy With

This wine would make a delicious aperitif served with crostini and goats cheese or prosciutto. Try with richer seafood dishes such as grilled salmon or prawn risotto, or serve with a fruit dessert such as a french apple tart with vanilla cream.

WINETASTING NOTES

The fruit was machine harvested from March 15th to April 20th. The fruit was crushed to bag presses and then using a gentle flotation method excess solids were removed. The juice was fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Specially selected yeast was used to enhance aroma and fruit flavour. No oak was used in the winemaking.
