Stoneleigh - Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc (375ml)
Stoneleigh is located in the heart of the Rapaura area and the locally known Golden Mile of vineyards, the 178 hectare Stoneleigh vineyard is on the northern side of the Wairau Valley, within 2km of the Wairau River and the Richmond Ranges. Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris vines can all be found on the Stoneleigh vineyard and the site is home to some of the oldest grafted Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc blocks in Marlborough. Some blocks of these varieties are now over 20 years old.
On the site of a former riverbed on the side of Marlborough’s Wairau Valley in New Zealand, the Stoneleigh range takes it name from the abundance of stones that cover the area. The quality of the wines owes much to these stones. These stones reflect heat up onto the vines, enhancing the ripening process and within the soil create the ideal growing environment.
The Stoneleigh vineyards support environmentally sustainable practices and are part of Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand, including efforts to support the environment beyond vineyard practices: they have set aside 115 hectares for wildlife, and provide support to local beekeepers and the native falcon.
