The Stoneleigh Classic Marlborough Pinot Noir Rosé 2025 captures the essence of Marlborough’s cool-climate elegance — a graceful, fruit-driven wine that radiates freshness, vibrancy, and charm. Crafted from carefully selected Pinot Noir grapes grown on Stoneleigh’s distinctive sunstone-studded vineyards in the Wairau Valley, this Rosé embodies the winery’s minimal-intervention philosophy, allowing nature to take the lead while preserving the purity of the fruit.

In the glass, it gleams a delicate blush pink hue, immediately enticing with perfumed aromas of florals, wild strawberries, and raspberries. The palate is lively and expressive, offering flavours of fresh berries, rockmelon sorbet, and a hint of citrus zest. Its silky texture and soft acidity bring balance and poise, finishing crisp and clean with a refreshing lift that makes every sip irresistibly moreish.

Stoneleigh’s vineyards lie on deep gravel beds covered in smooth sunstones, which reflect heat during the day and radiate warmth back to the vines at night. This natural phenomenon encourages optimal ripening while maintaining the region’s signature bright acidity and aromatic intensity. The result is a cool-climate Rosé that perfectly showcases both the fruit purity and finesse Marlborough is famous for.

Elegant and refreshing, this wine pairs beautifully with smoked salmon, sushi, charcuterie, grilled prawns, or summer salads. Equally delightful on its own, it’s a premium Rosé that overdelivers on both quality and approachability — a true reflection of Stoneleigh’s mastery in expressing place through purity.

Renowned as one of Marlborough’s most recognised wine estates, Stoneleigh continues to craft wines that bring together sustainability, craftsmanship, and a deep connection to the land — and this 2024 Pinot Noir Rosé is no exception.
