Description
Having long been established as a household wine name, Stoneleigh have upped their game in recent years with their premium offering, the Rapaura Series. With premium fruit sourced from a single vineyard, this Chardonnay was 100% hand harvested, whole bunch pressed to tight grained French oak (80% new) and left to ferment. Post ferment, the wine was gently stirred on lees for 5 months and allowed to undergo MLF, resulting in a delicious drinking wine with an intense expression of what Marlborough has to offer.
Smells
An enticing bouquet of gunflint, grapefruit, smoky notes with delicious creamy, toasty vanilla overtones.
Tastes
For the price this wine is a winner, seriously it over-delivers on every level. The nose is exciting, and the palate has great weight with focused flavours, stone fruit, grapefruit and green melon, and the acid simply laces all the components together, as does the toasty French oak. Stunning from go to whoa. Tasting this has given a lift to my day and with just one sip, we are all sure it will bring lift yours and bring a smile as well. Drinking well now through 2027. Serve with cheesy dishes or fresh seafood. Recommended serving temperature is 11-13 degrees.
We taste, rate & guarantee every wine we sell.
