The Stoneleigh range consists of distinctive, elegant, fruit forward Marlborough wines that reflect the unique terroir of our stone-studded vineyards. Started by nature, our philosophy of minimum intervention in the winery ensures that the vibrant flavours of Stoneleigh are captured in each and every bottle.

The grapes harvested for this wine were crushed and gently bag pressed off to achieve fresh, elegant juice. The juice was then promptly clarified to fermentation tank where is then fermented slowly at cool temperatures to retain the very distinctive regional and varietal characters of Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough. After fermentation was complete each tank was evaluated and blended to make this Classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

Food Pairing: This wine will best show the above characters whilst it is young and vibrant. Serve lightly chilled on its own as an aperitif or match with delicate seafood like Marlborough Green Lip muscles with freshly baked bread, white meat dishes accented with fresh herbs and lemon. Tangy cheeses, especially goats’ cheese are a great match.
