Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc 2006

True to Stoneleigh's distinctive style, this classic, lively Sauvignon Blanc captures the essence of Marlborough, New Zealand's most acclaimed winemaking region. Crafted from ripe, intensely flavored grapes, this full bodied Sauvignon Blanc is enjoyable while young and exuberant. Color: Pale straw Aromas: This wine is a ripe, full-bodied Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc that displays lifted passionfruit and grapefruit aromas, with overlaying mineral notes. The passion fruit and grapefruit characters are indicative of ripe Sauvignon Blanc from the Rapaura soils, and minerality is a fermentation complexity from the stony river bed terrior. Palate: The palate displays tropical, passion fruit and citrus flavors. These flavors have been emphasized by the winemaker by controlling skin contact time and matching yeast to best emphasize the wine's terrior. The wine has tightness and concentration of flavor that is balanced by natural fresh acidity.
