Stoneleigh Pinot Gris 2022

Stoneleigh is a premium New Zealand wine that expresses the vibrancy & fresh flavours of the Marlborough region through their minimal intervention winemaking philosophy & collaboration with nature. Situated in the heart of the Wairau Valley in New Zealand’s famous Marlborough wine region, Stoneleigh Vineyard is part of a remarkable winegrowing area. The cool climate, high sunshine hours and distinctive stone studded Rapaura soils in Marlborough provide the ideal conditions for their signature style – uniquely fresh, crisp & aromatically rich wine ripened by sunstones, sustainably sourced and vegan certified. Ultimately, Stoneleigh believe that beautiful things can happen when we partner with nature and actively work with it hence why they use sunstones from an ancient riverbed to naturally ripen their vines, bringing richer, more vibrant flavours to their grapes. Sustainability is also an important part of their journey as they have dedicated over 23 hectares to biodiversity projects and a further 8 hectares to regenerative land. Additionally, they use 100% sustainably sourced grapes and absolutely no animal products from grape to bottle.

On the nose, this 2022 Stoneleigh Marlborough Pinot Gris wine displays ripe Nashi pear and stone fruit notes with subtle spicy notes. The palate has intense stone fruit flavours and a warm rich textural weight on the finish. Serve slightly chilled on its own or with delicate white meat, pasta or seafood dishes. This is an excellent aperitif.
