Aroma & Palate

This single vineyard range takes the best elements of Stoneleigh and adds in a number of extra dimensions resulting in refined, premium quality wines with more complexity which deliver the most intense expression of Marlborough. This range takes its name from the distinctive stony soils on which the Stoneleigh vineyards are located.

Food Matches

This wine is a pale straw colour in the glass, and gives intense aromas of stone fruit, poached pear and hints of almond, honeysuckle and caramel. The palate is intensely concentrated, full-bodied and textural. Notes of luscious fig and apricot are enhanced by baking spices and ginger, and the wine shows superb weight and acid balance, with a persistent finish.

WINEMAKING DETAILS

The fruit for this wine was harvested (58% machine, 42% hand pick) from the 12th to the 20th March*, as each block reached ideal ripeness. The fruit was gently pressed but not over clarified, retaining some cloudy lees to aid fermentation. 44% of the wine was fermented using wild yeats in large seasoned oak cuves, and the rest in stainless steel tanks at a cooler temperature. This enabled distinctly different fermentation characters to develop and give unique components for blending. The wine was blended after grading and trials, and then filtered before bottling.

*based on 2019 vintage.
