Description

Long established as a household wine brand, Stoneleigh have risen the quality bar in recent years with their premium Rapaura Series. Best 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 Chardonnay… an intense expression of what Marlborough has to offer.

Smells

Enticing aromas of gunflint, peach, grapefruit, subtle smoke, vanilla spice & toasty barrel.

Tastes

This Chardonnay seriously over-delivers on every level. The palate has abundant weight of focused flavours of stone fruit, grapefruit and melon infused with creamy vanilla, flint and toasty French oak. The fine acidity beautifully laces all the flavours together. Stunning from whoa to go. Tasting this has given a lift to my day. One sip and it will lift your day and bring a smile as well. Drinking well now through 2028. Serve with cheese inspired dishes or fresh seafood. Recommended serving temperature is 11-13 degrees.
