Stonyridge is dedicated to producing the finest Cabernet blends in the world (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot), combining traditional winemaking with meticulous organic viticulture. Waiheke Island, in the Hauraki Gulf off Auckland, is famous for producing great red wines because of its low summer rainfall and consistently high temperatures. Waiheke is located at the same relative latitude as the southern tip of Sicily. Stonyridge is located in a gently north-facing valley, 1 km from both Onetangi Beach to the north and Putiki Bay to the south. It is sheltered from the cold southwesterly winds by Stonyridge, a long ridge running from one coast to the other. The first Bordeaux vines and olive trees were planted in 1982 by Stephen White, with the help of close friends and family. In 1984 Stephen returned to Bordeaux for a final training period and completed the vintage at Chateau d'Angludet, Cantenac-Margaux under the tutelage of Peter Sichel. Stephen White produced the first vintage at Stonyridge Vineyard in 1985. Two years later, he made the great 1987 Larose that rocketed Stonyridge to national fame - a wine hailed as the greatest red wine ever made in New Zealand.    Wine has won an Award Display prices in:     WAIHEKE CODE   RED WINE VINTAGE VOL.
