ABOUT
Stoneleigh is a premium New Zealand wine made in harmony and balance with nature. Made with a winemaking philosophy that believes in minimal intervention, it bursts with the iconic flavours of the Marlborough region it calls home. The cool climate, high sunshine hours and distinctive stone studded Rapaura soils in Marlborough make a uniquely fresh, crisp and aromatically rich range that’s sustainable and vegan certified.
TASTING NOTES
This wine is a pale lemon colour. The nose is powerfully aromatic, with intense passion fruit, capsicum, fennel and white pepper notes. These echo on the palate which is medium-bodied with great concentration. Punchy flavours of citrus and green herbs complete this lively wine, sitting on vibrant fruit acids, and leading to a persistent finish

SERVING SUGGESTION
Serve chilled. This wine is released ready to drink, with the classic profile of vibrant primary fruits at the forefront for the first two years. During careful cellaring for 2-4 years, the wine will broaden, soften, and savoury flavours of nettle and asparagus will emerge.
FOOD MATCH
This wine has a big personality and will work well with a multitude of flavoursome dishes. Great served with cured meats and soft cheeses in a platter. Try with fresh salads featuring citrus vinaigrette and green herb accents. Mild curries will be a hit such as a Tandoori chicken or Biryani. Seafood is a classic match such as grilled fish fillets or king prawns and a squeeze of lemon. Tomato based dishes will also work well including many Italian meals from simple pizza margherita through to a rich ragu.
