The Stoneleigh Classic Marlborough Pinot Gris 2024 beautifully captures the essence of New Zealand’s most celebrated wine region. Crafted in the heart of the Wairau Valley, this premium release exemplifies Stoneleigh’s philosophy of minimal intervention and harmony with nature — allowing the land itself to express its unique character. The vineyards are set on ancient, stone-studded Rapaura soils, where reflective sunstones naturally ripen the grapes, producing wines that are vibrant, pure, and full of life.

In the glass, it shimmers with a pale gold hue, revealing enticing aromas of ripe Nashi pear, white peach, and apricot, lifted by a gentle hint of spice and honeysuckle. The palate is generous, textural, and beautifully layered, with juicy pear and stone fruit flavours gliding across a finely balanced backbone of natural acidity. Subtle warmth and creamy texture on the finish add both richness and elegance, ensuring a sophisticated yet approachable drinking experience.

Certified 100% vegan and made with sustainably sourced grapes, this Pinot Gris showcases Stoneleigh’s dedication to environmental stewardship, with over 23 hectares dedicated to biodiversity and regenerative projects. Perfectly suited to grilled scallops, creamy pasta, roasted poultry, or soft brie, it’s a versatile wine that brings both freshness and finesse to the table.

Gold Medal Winner at The National Wine Awards of Aotearoa and The New Zealand International Wine Show, this release highlights the remarkable balance of purity and texture that defines Stoneleigh’s Marlborough wines.
