Saint Clair Pioneer Block 3 "43 Degrees" Sauvignon Blanc

The fruit was pressed off as quickly as possible to minimise skin contact and juice deterioration following harvesting. After settling the juice was fermented using selected yeast in 100 per cent stainless steel at cool temperatures to retain fruit flavour and freshness.

This batch was selected as a Pioneer Block wine due to its unique flavour, intensity and complexity.
Crushed herb, blackcurrant bud, passionfruit and gooseberry.
Drinking beautifully now and best enjoyed over the next two years.
An ideal match with vegetarian cuisine, fresh seafood or with poultry. Suitable for vegans.

Saint Clair Family Estate

Saint Clair Estate gilt als einer der Pioniere in der Weinregion Marlborough. Judy und Neal Ibbotson legten 1978 die ersten Weinberge an und versorgten zunächst einige Weingüter der Region mit Trauben. Doch schon bald reifte der Gedanke, aus den edlen Früchten selbst Wein herzustellen. Mit Hilfe von Winemaker Matt Thomson, der Erfahrungen in zahlreichen Weingütern in Bordeaux und Italien gesammelt hatte, verwirklichten sie diese Idee in den frühen 1990er Jahren. Schon bald wurden die Saint Clair Weine in nationalen und internationalen Verkostungen prämiert, u.a. auch vom bekanntesten US-Weinmagazin „Wine Spectator“.

Zu den größten Erfolgen zählt zweifellos die Auszeichnung als „Bester neuseeländischer Weinerzeuger des Jahres“, die Saint Clair Estate im Jahre 2005 anlässlich der International Wine und Spirits Cometition verliehen wurde.
