Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc White Wine, 75cl

Product Information

The nose is powerfully aromatic, with intense passionfruit, capsicum, fennel and white pepper notes. Situated in the top North point of the South Island of New Zealand, its main grape variety is the zesty and exuberant Sauvignon Blanc. Started by nature, our philosophy of minimum intervention in the winery ensures that the vibrant flavours of Stoneleigh are captured in each and every bottle. The Stoneleigh range consists of distinctive, elegant, fruit forward Marlborough wines that reflect the unique terroir of our stone-studded vineyards.

Punchy flavours of citrus and green herbs complete this lively wine, sitting on vibrant fruit acids, and leading to a persistent finish. It may not be reproduced in any way whatsoever without Ocado Limited's prior consent, nor without due acknowledgement.
