Stoneleigh Marlborough Chardonnay (750ml) is a wonderfully vibrant, crisp, and beautifully expressive white wine that captures the pure, stone-fired terroir of New Zealand’s premier wine region. Established in the heart of the northern Wairau Valley, Stoneleigh is world-renowned for its unique "sunstones"—ancient, river-flattened stones that blanket the vineyard floor, reflecting heat up into the vine canopy to naturally intensify fruit ripeness. This contemporary expression delivers a bright, fruit-forward, and finely balanced profile where punchy stone fruits are enhanced by a subtle, elegant touch of oak richness.
Stone-Fired Terroir & Microclimate Precision
The secret behind its distinct texture lies in this unique stony riverbed microclimate. The heat-retaining sunstones allow the grapes to develop rich, concentrated varietal characteristics while Marlborough's signature cool nights ensure the fruit retains its mouthwatering line of crisp freshness. In the cellar, the winemakers employ a careful combination of stainless steel tank and partial French oak barrel fermentation. Maturation on its fine yeast lees introduces a lovely, rounded mid-palate weight and a delicate creaminess without overpowering the wine's signature freshness.
Tasting Notes
  • Aroma: Highly expressive, fresh, and invitingly aromatic. The nose opens with a fragrant bouquet of ripe nectarine, white peach, and orange blossom, seamlessly layered over a subtle backdrop of toasted almonds and a hint of creamy vanilla spice.
  • Palate: Medium-bodied, smooth, and wonderfully juicy. The palate treats the mouth to a succulent, flesh-driven core of stone fruit, pink grapefruit, and lemon curd, supported by a finely textured, velvety mouthfeel.
  • Finish: Crisp, dry, and exceptionally clean. It tapers off into a persistent finish driven by a precise line of refreshing citrus acidity and a lingering, subtle touch of warm savory oak.
