Stoneleigh Chardonnay 2023

The nose has vibrant fruit intensity, with musky nectarine and stone fruit pith, white-fleshed peaches and cream coupled with subtle toasty oak aromas. There are also nuances of roasted nut, subtle jersey caramel notes and a chalky minerality. The palate shows textural weight and balance with a soft, creamy finish, and all the flavours are bound together with well-structured and well-integrated layers of oak complexity.

This wine is best enjoyed while it is young to capture its vibrant fruit expression, but can also be successfully cellared for three years from release.

Serve lightly chilled on its own or as an accompaniment to a wide range of dishes including white meat, poultry, pasta and fresh seafood.

13.7% abv. Marlborough, New Zealand.

Grown in the stone-studded Rapaura soils, Stoneleigh wines are famous for their fresh, crisp style and vibrant flavours. Stoneleigh Vineyard is situated in the heart of the Rapaura area on the northern side of the Wairau valley in Marlborough, New Zealand. Within 2km of the Wairau River and the Richmond Ranges, our home lies within an area known locally as the ‘Golden Mile’ of vineyards. As evidence of an ancient riverbed, Stoneleigh takes its name from the stones that cover our vineyard – land that’s now home to some of the oldest grafted Sauvignon Blanc blocks in Marlborough. The stones store and reflect the sun’s heat up into the vines, enhancing the ripening process and contributing to the unique taste of Stoneleigh wines.
