New Zealand's #1 Sauvignon Blanc Stoneleigh Breaks Into Top Ten Bestselling NZ Sauvignon Blancs Nationwide

Marlborough, New Zealand / Napa, Calif. – Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand's #1 Sauvignon Blanc, is rapidly gaining traction in the U.S. market. Following its renewed availability in the United States through Delicato Family Wines, the brand has officially entered the top echelon of the category, now ranking among the top ten bestselling New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs in the U.S. nationwide.

The brand's momentum is arriving on the heels of major national U.S. acclaim. The 2024 Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc was honored at the 2025 Sommeliers' Choice Awards with Wine Value of the Year, New Zealand Wine of the Year, and Sauvignon Blanc of the Year, and additionally received a 92-point rating from The Tasting Panel Magazine. These accolades reinforce the wine's exceptional quality, value, and leadership within the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc category.

Stoneleigh's recent rise comes at a moment when U.S. consumers are increasingly gravitating toward bright, crisp, sustainably crafted white wines with expressive aromatics. "Wine consumers are seeking out zesty whites that combine high quality with conscious production, including vegan and environmentally mindful considerations, and Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc resonates with those needs," noted Jamie Marfell, chief winemaker for Stoneleigh.

Stoneleigh's vibrant citrus, passionfruit, and grapefruit profile — shaped by its signature sun-soaked Marlborough riverbed vineyards — has positioned it as a standout for shoppers looking to trade up within the category.

As visibility grows across retail, grocery, e-commerce, and lifestyle media, Stoneleigh is becoming a discovery favorite among wine drinkers seeking high-quality, authentic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. With new accolades and U.S. sales momentum reinforcing each other, the brand is poised for continued growth as more U.S. consumers encounter New Zealand's #1 Sauvignon Blanc on shelf.

Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc (SRP: $18) is available at fine wine retailers and restaurants nationwide through Delicato Family Wines.
