The Stoneleigh Classic Marlborough Pinot Gris 2025 is a brilliant showcase of New Zealand’s pristine natural beauty and sustainable winemaking philosophy. Grown in the heart of the Wairau Valley, this premium Marlborough white reflects Stoneleigh’s belief that beautiful things happen when we partner with nature. Crafted from 100% sustainably sourced, vegan-certified grapes, this Pinot Gris captures both purity of fruit and respect for the land.

Stoneleigh’s vineyards rest on ancient stone-studded Rapaura soils, where the sunstones — remnants of an ancient riverbed — reflect sunlight onto the vines, naturally enhancing ripening and flavour concentration. This unique terroir, combined with Marlborough’s cool climate and high sunshine hours, creates wines that are vibrant, crisp, and aromatically expressive.

In the glass, the 2025 vintage opens with luscious aromas of ripe Nashi pear, fresh stone fruits, and a hint of spice. The palate is generous and textural, brimming with juicy pear, apricot, and peach flavours, carried by a fine line of natural acidity. A subtle warmth and weight on the finish provide both depth and richness, making this wine as elegant as it is approachable.

Perfectly suited to white meats, creamy pasta, or delicate seafood dishes, the Stoneleigh Classic Pinot Gris is also superb when served lightly chilled as an aperitif — the ideal companion for relaxed dining and conversation.

This outstanding wine has been awarded Gold Medals at both The National Wine Awards of Aotearoa and The New Zealand International Wine Show, affirming its status as one of Marlborough’s finest expressions of the variety. Best enjoyed young to capture its bright fruit and freshness, it embodies everything that makes New Zealand Pinot Gris so captivating — purity, texture, and effortless charm.
