The story of Stoneleigh Light SauvB

Stoneleigh launched its Lighter range in New Zealand in August 2016, with a Sauvignon Blanc, a Pinot Gris and a rosé. Winemaker Jamie Marfell set out to make wines about 25 per cent lower in alcohol than the classic Stoneleigh versions of the same grape and vintage, while keeping the brand's aromatics and flavour.

The fruit comes from Stoneleigh's Rapaura vineyards in Marlborough, and the lower strength comes from picking early in the season, when flavour is already full but sugar is still relatively low. The first Sauvignon Blanc in the range came in at 9.6 per cent.

In the glass it is pale straw. Expect passionfruit, white and pink grapefruit, cut grass and zesty lime, in a light bodied, unoaked style with plenty of freshness.

Pour it chilled with oysters, grilled fish or a simple lemon and herb chicken. Vegetable dishes with a squeeze of lime suit it equally well.
