The nose is pungent, with hints of smoky complexity, vibrant fruit intensity, and upfront passionfruit and tropical aromas carrying through to the palate. The palate emphasises the ripe tropical fruit with fresh passionfruit aromas, supported by white-fleshed nectarine highlights and wet river stone minerality. The palate is rich and weighty, showing enormous varietal intensity, finishing with a fresh crisp acidity.

Exhibiting the distinctive citrus and passionfruit aromas expected from Stoneleigh, this wine also has hints of nectarine. Combining passionfruit and citrus flavours, the palate is rich and textural with a generous mouth-feel that balances out the acidity - creating a generous wine that is distinctly Marlborough.

Vibrant guava and vibrant passionfruit on the nose give way to gooseberry, coriander and aniseed on the palate - rich, complex botanicals that add alluring detail to this wine.

Delightfully ripe aromas of gooseberry and white peach are laced with refreshing notes of kaffir lime. The fleshy mid palate is tamed by an underlying minerally acid backbone that culminates in a bright, zesty finish.
