Welcome To Stonyridge Vineyard

1 Welcome To Stonyridge Vineyard Our Story Stonyridge Vineyard is the ongoing dream of owner Stephen White. In 1981 Stephen returned by sail to New Zealand after sailing a Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race, skippering yachts in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Pacific and working at wineries in France, California and Italy. It was during this 3-year adventure that Stephen came to love the culture and lifestyle of the Mediterranean and the great red wines of France, Italy and California. After extensive climatic research Stonyridge was identified as the ideal site to ripen and produce a world class Bordeaux style red wine. The first Bordeaux vines and olive trees were planted in 1982 with the help of close friends and family. This makes Stonyridge the first commercial olive grove in New Zealand. When Cabernet Franc and Malbec were planted in 1983, it was the beginning of New Zealand's first Bordeaux four blend. In 1984 Stephen returned to Bordeaux for a final training period to collect Petit Verdot and completed a vintage at Chateau d'angludet, Margaux under the tutelage of Peter Sichel. Stephen produced the first vintage at Stonyridge Vineyard in Two years later, he made the great 1987 Larose that rocketed Stonyridge to national fame, and attracted international attention a wine hailed at that time as the greatest red wine ever made in New Zealand. In the 1993 vintage, Stonyridge made the first Bordeaux five blend in New Zealand and we believe, the new world. Today Stonyridge is referred to as One of the Top Ten Must Visit Wineries in the World Guardian UK and most recently topped the list for the best Cabernet Merlot in The Age/ Sydney Morning Herald Good Wine Guide. The Stonyridge Larose 2010 scored 97 points to make it the highest equal scoring red wine in 2013 and finished ahead of all of Australia s most iconic Cabernet blends and equal with Penfolds Grange! Stonyridge Larose is the favourite of the former NZ Prime Minister, Sir John Key and has been enjoyed by King Juan Carlos & Queen Sofia of Spain and Queen Elizabeth II, many Prime Ministers and has sold at some of the world s best restaurants including Madrid s top Restaurant Viridiana.

17 Stonyridge Estate Wines Glass Bottle Stonyridge Sauvignon Blanc $13 $50 Waiheke Island 2017 The 2017 Sauvignon Blanc exhibits aromas of ripe tropical fruits, melon and gentle herbaceousness on the nose, while the palate shows great focus and texture from the partial barrel ferment.

Stonyridge Airfield $16 $75 Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot Waiheke Island 2017 Airfield is the second label to the world famous Bordeaux blend, Larose. Airfield is made from the same quality fruit that will typically be used for Larose, but is a more forward fruit driven wine for the short to medium term was another challenging year in the vineyards on Waiheke, so the advantage of the free draining north facing slopes of Stonyridge were key to achieving the quality of the Airfield this year. The heat throughout the ripening period meant that flavour ripeness was easily achieved. On the nose the 2017 Airfield shows red currants, black cherry and fresh Mediterranean herbs, with subtle cedar French oak influence. Medium bodied in the mouth, there is soft, approachable tannin framing the juicy sweet fruit of the mid-palate.

19 Glass Bottle Stonyridge Pilgrim $23 $105 Syrah, Mourvédre, Viognier, Grenache Waiheke Island Points from Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker s The Wine Advocate 2017 was another challenging year in the vineyards on Waiheke, so the advantage of the free draining north facing slopes of Stonyridge were key to achieving the quality of the Pilgrim this year. The heat throughout the ripening period meant that flavour ripeness was easily achieved. On the nose, bright, fragrant aromas of fresh cherries and blueberries, with complex spice and toasty oak. The fineness and warmth of the 2017 vintage is to the fore in this wine, but will benefit from medium term cellaring. The palate at this youthful stage is tight and balanced, with fresh acidity and a soft tannin structure. The mid-palate has bountiful fruit sweetness and finishes long. Stonyridge Luna Negra $29 $130 Hillside Malbec Waiheke Island 2017 Gold Medal, New Zealand International Wine Competition was another challenging year in the vineyards on Waiheke, so the advantage of the free draining north facing slopes of Stonyridge were key to achieving the quality of the Luna Negra this year. The heat throughout the ripening period meant that flavour ripeness was easily achieved. On the nose, dense dark fruits layered with mocha and vanilla notes are supported by a generous level of quality tight grained cedary French oak. The fineness and warmth of the 2017 vintage are the foremost characters in this wine, and this Luna Negra will benefit from medium to long term cellaring to knit the elements of this fine wine together. The palate is taut and firm, with great tannin grip at this youthful stage of its development, and with the density of sweet fruit through the palate, makes for a generous mouth-filling wine. Sir Richard Branson chooses Larose: In late November 2015 Sir Richard selected and served Stonyridge Larose 2009 at his dinner hosting other owners and Virgin executives at his new uber luxury eco resort and residence on Moskito Island, next to Necker in the British Virgin Islands.
