Chardonnay
Made with fruit picked at optimum ripeness from Stoneleigh vineyards, this wine shows great complexity, with intense nectarine, white peach and citrus aromas in harmony with smoky toasty overtones, and a rich textural full-bodied palate.
Tasting Notes
The ultimate expression of our minimal-intervention winemaking philosophy, Stoneleigh Wild Valley is crafted using fruit picked at optimum ripeness and is wild fermented by the micro-flora that occurs naturally in the Rapaura environment.
