November Wine of the Month
                Stoneleigh Winery
                               Marlborough, New Zealand

Stoneleigh Winery is located in Marlborough, New Zealand. The vineyards are situated on an ancient river bed which has left behind thousands of stones through out the soil. These stones help to reflect the sunshine to the grapes, enhancing the ripening process. The stones also provide more stress on the grape vines, forcing them to produce smaller, more concentrated grapes. Stoneleigh Winery is known for their Sauvignon Blanc, Dry Riesling and Pinot Noir; all three grape varietals that excel in Marlborough’s climate. In fact, Stoneleigh has the oldest Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling vines in New Zealand. Stoneleigh is currently a member of Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand in efforts to reduce their impact on the environment. We hope that you enjoy these excellent high quality wines as much as we do!

Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc
This classic, lively Sauvignon Blanc captures the essence of Marlborough, New Zealand’s most acclaimed wine region. The wine begins with lifted aromatics of freshly cut grapefruit and passion fruit, with an underlying mineral note. The palate is crisp, driven with tropical and citrus fruit flavors. This wine is an excellent choice to serve with seafood, any white meat, salads and pastas.

Stoneleigh Dry Riesling
Riesling is considered to be one of the world’s noblest grape varietals. This is for good reason, it is one of the only white grape varietals that can be aged in the cellar for decades. The Stoneleigh Riesling is done in a classic dry New Zealand style. The wine begins with intense lemon lime sherbet aromas that lead into a fresh and vibrant palate that bursts forth with nectarine and citrus fruit flavors. The palate is medium bodied and finishes with a hint of spice and good length. This wine is immediately enjoyable upon release, however, it can age in the cellar for 10 to 12 years. Riesling is one of the most food friendly white grapes. Pair this wine with everything from Thai cuisine to Turkey Dinner.

Stoneleigh Pinot Noir
The bouquet on the wine is fragrant bringing forth black cherry, raspberry and red plum fruit that is overlaid with savory toasty spice. The palate is ripe with dark, red berry fruit flavors. The wine is soft and supple with lingering fruit that is balanced by fine integrated tannins. Pinot Noir is the most food friendly red grape varietals. Pair this wine with red meats, as well as white meats and seafood.
