Stoneleigh Rapaura Series Chardonnay 2023

This single vineyard range takes the best elements of Stoneleigh and adds in a number of extra dimensions resulting in refined, premium quality wines with more complexity which deliver the most intense expression of Marlborough. This range takes its name from the distinctive stony soils on which the Stoneleigh vineyards are located.

Subtle melon and tropical fruit notes coupled with toasty oak aromas. Peach and stone fruit flavours combine in a rich and creamy palate with layers of complexity.

This wine is ready to drink upon release but has the potential to cellar and gain complexity for 3-5 years.

13.5% abv. Marlborough, New Zealand.

Serve slightly chilled on its own, or with the freshest white fish or shellfish you can get. Fabulous with grilled crayfish coated with a simple lime butter sauce, smoked salmon bruschetta, pesto chicken, as well as garlic shrimp.
