$14.99
Commercial description
Immediately approachable, this wine has a deep, ruby red hue and ripe, dark berry fruit and cherry flavours with persistent fruit sweetness.
The Stoneleigh range consists of distinctive, elegant, fruit-forward Marlborough wines that reflect the unique terroir of our stone-studded vineyards. Started by nature and finished by the talents of the Stoneleigh winemakers, our philosophy of minimum intervention in the winery ensures that the vibrant flavours of Stoneleigh are captured in each and every bottle.
The fruit was picked by machine between 28th March and 17th April, using selective harvesters which sort the ripest grapes right in the vineyard, and ensure no leaves come along too. The wine was fermented in a mixture of open top and closed top fermenters, all stainless steel with temperature control. The ferment was kept warm and steady below 32C and the caps were managed with a combination of pumpover, gas rummage and plunging. The wine was pressed to French oak for malolactic and then left to mature for several months. All components were tasted and the wines with hallmark vibrant Stoneleigh flavours were selected for this year?s blend.
Alc 13.5%
