Stoneleigh Pinot Gris

Notes - Marlborough has a world-renowned terrior and microclimate, due to its unique combination of infertile and free-draining, stony soils, high annual sunshine hours and a crisp coastal climate. Situated in the heart of this region, the Stoneleigh vineyards are covered with smooth ‘sun-stones’ which reflect heat, to speed the ripening process by day, while cool nights maintain intense fruit flavours. It is from these unique stony soils that this premium range of exceptional Marlborough wines, Stoneleigh Rapaura Series, takes its name. Straw in colour with aromas of intense pear aromas with peach and melon notes on the nose. The palate is textured with sweet, rounded, ripe stone fruit flavours and a touch of spice. There is an underlying creamy complexity apparent from the three months lees contact. Although best enjoyed now, this wine will develop luscious creamy, toasted honey characters with cellaring over the next two to five years.
