Pinot Noir Rosé
This wine displays a beautiful rosy blush colour. The perfumed nose reveals a medley of floral and berry notes. The palate is fruit-forward, with strawberries, raspberries, and a touch of rockmelon sorbet. It offers great freshness and a crisp, soft finish.
The winemaker has harvested the fruit at peak intensity, seeking both fresh and ripe characteristics. By minimising winemaking intervention, the wine is able to perfectly express its unique origin.
Tasting Notes
The unique terroir, where the Stoneleigh vineyards lie, defines the wine’s independent qualities. Located on the northern side of the Wairau Valley, in close proximity to Marlborough’s main river, the Wairau, the vignerons have located the vineyards on deep, infertile gravel beds covered in smooth ‘sunstones’. These sunstones reject the sun’s heat during the day, assisting ripening, whilst cool nights maintain intense fruit flavours. These factors combine to produce a wine with its own unique ‘place’.

Food Pairing
This wine will accompany seafood beautifully, from sushi and oysters, to BBQ salmon or crispy squid. Summer salads will work too- try a fruity vinaigrette over an avocado and strawberry salad, or a Greek salad with chunks of feta. Lightly spiced dishes with a touch of sweetness such as Pad Thai noodles, or chicken with sweet chilli sauce will also be a delicious pairing.
