Stoney Three Pack

A selection of particularly fine drops from Stoney Vineyard—more immediate and easier-drinking than their older siblings.

Stoney Vineyard Rosé 2024
Stoney, the 2024 is a pale, peachy rose-gold in the glass, presaging a voluptuous nose of strawberries, hibiscus and crunchy-apple freshness. The palate is juicy, with a raspberry-led acidity that lingers throughout. Very much a wine that builds in layers as you sit with it, it’s the perfect accompaniment to an afternoon antipasto picnic.

Stoney Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023
Just what the doctor ordered. An incredibly pretty, refined Pinot (given its youth) that’s ripe and rewarding from nose to finish: rich dark fruit and spice galore on the nose (plus hints of mint-leaf confectionery and apples) presage a palate of immense character and concentration—red cherries, chocolate, sandalwood, vanilla, ginger, and on, and on. Acidity is light but present; tannin velvety and supple. Complex, yummy and youthful. A ripper.

Stoney Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
A cabernet sauvignon for those seeking something a little more approachable, the push for increased fruit-weight is evident from the classic cabernet nose (capsicum, cassis, chocolate, blackberry) on. Fine tannin allows for a rich balance on the palate, where ripe blueberries and more winter berries play nice with spice and a good kick of acid. A big, generous wine that promises the excellent long-term maturation Conor sought in the making.
