100% Sauvignon Blanc sourced from a selection of vineyards located predominantly in the lower Wairau sub-region of Marlborough. Saint Clair regards these areas as the very best for producing Sauvignon Blanc.
Fruit was transported to the winery quickly and pressed off immediately to minimise skin contact. After cold settling the juice from each batch was fermented at cool temperatures using selected yeast strains. Each batch was assessed for quality and only the best components were selected for this premium blend.
Winemaker's Comments
Tropical notes of passionfruit, guava and blackcurrant combine with nettle and subtle chalky mineral notes. The palate is rich and full with tropical flavours including passionfruit guava and blackcurrant, leading to a long mineral lingering finish.
