    Stoneleigh really let their hair down and went wild with the latest addition to their range, Wild Valley!

    This is the expression of wine they called minimal intervention, which might sound lazy but it’s actually all about letting nature do most of the work. After picking grapes from their vineyards in Marlborough’s Rapaura district, they fermented a portion of the grapes using the wild-flora that naturally occurs in the Rapaura environment, making the wines richer with more texture and a smoky, toasty element.

    Only the second ever release under this label. Go wild, branch out and try a slightly different style. Pair it up with white meat, poultry, pasta and fresh seafood dishes.
