A wonderfully cool temperature Sauvignon Blanc, made in the Marlborough Region in New Zealand. This wine shows off its heritage with hints of the salty sea air in this wine balanced amazingly with passionfruit flavours and blackcurrants. Perfect to be enjoyed chilled with fresh sea food.
From The Winery
Grapes were 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
Fruit was sourced from a selection of vineyards located predominantly in the lower Wairau sub-region. This is what Saint Clair regards as Marlborough’s best sub-region for Sauvignon Blanc, producing wines with heightened expression. Each vineyard block was harvested at optimum flavour maturity and physiological ripeness.
