"A seductive strawberries and cream aroma leads to a mix of other summer berries on the palate supported by a soft, silken texture with just enough residual sugar to label it off-dry but no suggestion of cloying" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2022
This delicate, coral-pink wine opens with a multitude of red fruit aromas. Raspberry, strawberry and redcurrant with a creamy note. This ripe, yet crisp and refreshing rose carries the juicy red fruit flavours on to the palate, joined by a hint of spice. The wine has a lingering, full finish.
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 occur naturally in the Rapaura environment.
The fruit was machine harvested from our Stoneleigh vineyards during April 2020. The grapes were swiftly transported to the Marlborough winery and held to extract a light rose colour from the skins, before being gently bag pressed, then clarified. The juice was wild fermented with the natural vineyard yeast that arrived on the fruit, in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks between 14-16C. After fermentation the various tanks were blended, clarified and simply filtered to bottle.
Food Pairing: This wine will work brilliantly with fulsome flavours. Try a seafood pasta such as crab and lemon linguine, or a hearty Nicoise salad featuring fresh Tuna steak. Charry Barbecue flavours will match well such as mixed veggie or lamb skewers, as well as charcuterie and soft cheeses.
