Description
- Dry style

Mineral and herbaceous aromas with flavours of ripe lemon and smoky and sweet honey. An elegant freshness with a creamy texture. Long, soft and complex finish. Creating a generous wine that is distinctively Marlborough.
The ultimate expression of our minimal-intervention winemaking philosophy, Stoneleigh Wild Valley is crafted using fruit picked at optimum ripeness and is wild fermented by the micro-flora that occurs naturally in the Rapaura environment.
The grapes were harvested using our Pellenc Selectiv harvesters and crushed to bag presses. The juice was drained and pressed from the skins to minimise excessive phenolic extraction. Once the pressed juice reached its fermentation vessel it was left at room temperature until Wild fermentation began, this naturally occurred after a few days. Fermentation continued for around 30 days. A percentage of the blend was fermented in non-new, French barrels which adds a textural element to the wine with the balance fermented in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the various barrel and tank components were tasted and blended to produce this ripe and textural wine.
Food Pairing: This is a versatile food wine, both flavour and texture will pair well with a range of dishes. Try with an oily fish such as Salmon topped with parmesan herb crust drizzled with fresh lemon and a range of cow and goats milk cheeses.
