Stonyridge Vineyard

Auckland Syrah and Cabernet-driven wines rated by major critics.

Stonyridge Vineyard sits in Auckland, North Island, where volcanic soils and maritime influence shape wines of distinctive character. The winery's portfolio centers on three flagship expressions: Faithful Syrah, a Shiraz-based wine that captures the region's ripeness and structure; Cabernets, a blend of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon; and Fallen Angel Reserve Pinot Noir, which explores the cooler-climate potential of New Zealand's northern reaches. All three have been assessed by major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Falstaff, earning ratings in the 91–92 range. The winery's approach balances the bold fruit expression typical of Auckland with the precision demanded by international standards.
