There are tropical hints of pineapple and papaya. The fruit notes carry through to the palate, which is lively and fresh, then delivering a crisp finish. Serve this wine with equally fresh and light dishes such as Vietnamese summer rolls, or crisp chicken salad.
A blush pink wine, Stoneleigh Bright Marlborough Rosé 2018 boasts bright aromas of red apples and yellow fleshed pear. The vibrant palate is bursting with raspberry and strawberry flavours, and it finishes fresh and light. This wine will work great with salmon, or tasty appetisers such as crab cake or sushi.
