Stoneleigh Latitude Chardonnay 2025

Stoneleigh Latitude Chardonnay comes from Marlborough's Golden Mile, a stretch of ancient sun-warmed stones on the northern side of the Wairau Valley that lends Stoneleigh's wines their signature richness and ripeness. Flinty, smoky aromas lead into stone fruit and brioche notes, while the palate turns creamy and full-bodied, layering ripe peach and nectarine with toasted hazelnut and a touch of caramel. Vibrant acidity keeps the wine balanced through a long, mineral-tinged finish with flinty accents. It's a generous, textural chardonnay built for those who enjoy weight and complexity in their glass, equally at home with roast chicken or fresh seafood.

What the winery says:
This wine exhibits ripe stone fruit aromas with complex characters of flint and smokiness on the nose, flowing through to a rich, creamy palate of ripe peach, caramel and brioche with great intensity. A delightful chardonnay with fruit purity, vibrant acidity and flinty accents on the finish. Latitude wines are crafted from fruit grown on Marlborough's 'Golden Mile', an ancient stone-covered strip of land renowned for its exceptional grape-growing conditions.
