Stoneleigh Latitude Sauvignon Blanc
This wine exhibits aromas of fresh citrus blossom, pineapple, passionfruit and hints of melon. This follows through to a weighty palate with Honeydew melon, grapefruit and nuances of lime zest. This wine has a natural weight and concentration that lingers on the palate before finishing with a crisp citrus twist. The son of farmers, Jamie found that making wine was a superior choice to farming sheep. In Marlborough, the small New Zealand region, the industry literally grew up around him. At Stoneleigh, the philosophy is less is more. Its about making sure everything they do has a purpose, not simply following tradition or fads. This minimal intervention style of winemaking invites golden moments that come together to let the wines and vines tell their own story. - Jamie Marfell, Chief Winemaker.

Greywacke Pinot Gris
An exotic Middle-Eastern mélange of poached quinces, sticky dates and tree-ripened figs, laced with vanilla bean, cardamom and hints of black licorice. This is a ripe, opulent expression of the pinot gris grape in a voluptuous off-dry style that has considerable concentration and a long, luscious finish. The three clones were hand-picked separately at high ripeness levels and whole-bunch pressed using very low maceration press cycles. The resulting juice was cold settled, then racked to fermentation vessels. Most of the juice went through a natural indigenous yeast fermentation in old French oak barriques and the balance was fermented in stainless steel tanks using cultured yeast. Towards the end of fermentation all the wine was transferred to stainless steel tanks where the fermentations were stopped, retaining 10 g/l residual sugar. The wine then spent a year on yeast lees (seven months in old barrels and the remaining time in stainless steel tanks) prior to blending and bottling. Kevin Judd is one of Marlboroughs pioneer winemakers whose career is intrinsically linked with the global profile of New Zealand wine. Kevin was born in England and grew up in Australia, where he studied winemaking at Roseworthy College and first made wine at Reynella in South Australia. He moved to New Zealand in 1983 and joined Selaks Wines. Subsequently, he became the founding winemaker at Cloudy Bay, a pivotal role during which he directed the companys first 25 vintages. In 2009 he established his own label, Greywacke, named after New Zealands prolific bedrock. The Name: New Zealand does not have a designated national rock, but if one was ever chosen it would have to be greywacke (pron: grey-wacky). This drab grey stone is found everywhere in New Zealand on the mountains, in the rivers, on the beaches. It consists of layers of hard, muddy grey sandstone alternating with thinner layers of darker mudstone (argillite). Technically the term greywacke refers to the sandstone (wacke is a German name for a type of sandstone), but it is also used as a general term for the entire rock.

Organic grapes from Marlborough. Hand Crafted by Clive Dougall (the Chairman of the NZ Organic Vignerons Association). Wild Fermented, subtle tropical & citrus fruits, with a lingering dry finish. Vegan & B Corp. Passion fruit, hay, guava and extravagant spice. It’s still super fresh, linear, and beautifully fruity with this fresh-cut melon/peach juiciness and yet a steely dry backbone. Less wild this vintage, but no less exotic, it tastes so much more extravagant and ultimately delicious than Marlborough should. Super acidity, very fresh.
