“Our wines are from the freshest place on earth and we aim to produce wines that are a true reflection of nature — wines that embody typical, authentic and fresh fruit-driven flavours. Stoneleigh are super premium wines from Marlborough,” he added.

“The wines are distinctive, fruit forward styles from Stoneleigh's unique terroir of free draining, stony soils combined with Marlborough's high sunshine and crisp coastal climate.

“At Stoneleigh, we take a minimalistic approach to wine-making; by doing so its our belief that the vines can express themselves more fully,” Clarke said.

Jeff Clarke’s hot tip for summer:

“The Montana Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2008 has recently received great accolades from Winestate magazine (in Australia and New Zealand) and Wine Spectator (in the USA), to name just a few.

“This is the perfect summer wine for Dubai, refreshing on its own, and an excellent wine to go with any light seafood dish.

“The Montana Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is by far the most popular of our wines in Dubai and is our best selling New Zealand wine in both the on-trade and retail. It has always been a summer favourite; its light style — with bold, ripe, zesty flavours which are quintessentially Marlborough — make it the perfect wine to enjoy on a warm day.”
