Stoneleigh Wild Valley Marlborough Pinot Gris 2024

Description

Dry

This pale lemon-gold wine opens with aromas of stone fruit and summer meadow; clover, wild flowers and bush honey. The palate is dry and mouth-filling, with nectarine, apricot and citrus hints. The rich texture carries through to a soft, rounded finish with hints of pear. Try this wine with a warm goats' cheese salad garnished with candied walnuts. Equally good with a lemon and garlic roasted chicken, or grilled pork loin, served with sweet baby carrots and parsnips. Light fruit based desserts such as baked apple with cinnamon cream will showcase the versatility of this wine.

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 occur naturally in the Rapaura environment.
