Produced by Saint Clair Family Estate – an established family winery from the Marlborough region, New Zealand. Founded in 1978, the winery is among the pioneers in the production of high-quality wines from Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio and other varieties, expressing the unique terroir and cool climate of the area.
Varietal composition: 100% Pinot Grigio
Terroir: The vineyards are located in the Wairau Valley, in the heart of Marlborough. The soils are well-drained, gravelly and rich in minerals, which provides an optimal balance between ripeness and acidity of the grapes. The climate is cool with a long growing season, which helps to develop freshness, delicate aromas and fine balance in the wine.
Vinification: The grapes are harvested at night to preserve freshness and aromas. After careful selection, gentle pressing and fermentation at a controlled low temperature in stainless steel tanks follow. The wine is aged briefly on the fine lees to gain volume and a silky texture.
