From Marlborough's "Golden Mile". And it wins a few Golds now and again!
Stoneleigh Latitude Chardonnay
- From Marlborough's "Golden Mile" (an area renowned for producing some of Marlborough best flavoured fruit)
- 100% barrel fermented (20% of it in new French oak) and aged for 8 months
- A rich, creamy flavoured Chardonnay with plenty of ripe stonefruit flavours and a touch of savoury, smoky spice
The secret’s in the name. Good quality fruit, great winemaking know-how and the secret power of…stones?
Yep, that’s right. Sunstones that used to form the river bed of an ancient river in Marlborough’s Wairau Valley are now used by the crew at Stoneleigh to radiate the daytime heat directly onto the vines, making them work hard to produce grapes full of crisp, vibrant flavour.
Produced from their vineyards in Marlborough’s “Golden Mile”, an area along Rapaura Road renowned for producing the best flavoured fruit in the Marlborough region.
A rich, creamy flavoured Chardonnay with plenty of rich stonefruit flavours and some savoury, smoky characters in there too. A clear winner for the money.
