The 2008 vintage was a fantastic grape growing year for the wines of Stoneleigh. Periodic rainfall events throughout summer gave strong vine health, boosting what is needed on our stony, gravelly vineyards. Starting harvest in late March, the fruit was in premium condition with intense flavours and balanced acidity. Making picking decisions based on flavour, I was able to target passionfruit and grapefruit flavours, minimising the greener notes. The resulting wine is a true expression of the Rapaura region with strong aromatics, an intense palate and clean, fresh acidity.
