NEW ZEALAND : MARLBOROUGH : WAIRAU VALLEY SUSTAINABLE : Sauvignon Blanc MED-BODIED, PASSIONFRUIT, LIME ZEST, PINK GRAPEFRUIT, LEMONGRASS, NO OAK Stoneleigh takes its name from the stony river terraces of the Wairau Valley — free-draining, heat-retaining soils that push vines to dig deep and concentrate fruit. Cold nights preserve the aromatics that define the region. The 2024 vintage delivered a long, even growing season — more aromatic precision than volume, with citrus and passionfruit forward.
