Saint Clair Family Estate – one of the leading family wineries in the Marlborough region, New Zealand. The winery was founded in 1978 and is known for producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir and microclimate of Marlborough.

Region and terroir:
Marlborough, South Island of New Zealand – the most prestigious region for Sauvignon Blanc in the country. The soils are well-drained, with a high content of gravel and minerals, and the climate is cool, with a long growing season, which contributes to the expressive aroma and freshness of the wine.

Varietal composition:
100% Sauvignon Blanc

Vinification:
The grapes are harvested at night to preserve freshness and aromas. Fermentation takes place at low temperature in stainless steel vessels to preserve the typical fruity character of the variety. The wine is aged for a short time on the fine lees to add volume and structure.

Organoleptic characteristics:

Aroma: Intense bouquet of tropical fruits – passion fruit, grapefruit, lime and freshly cut grass

Taste: Bright, juicy and lively, with an excellent balance between fruity freshness and minerality. The finish is long and citrusy.

Food pairings:
An ideal complement to seafood, oysters, citrus-based salads, goat cheese and Asian cuisine.

Serving temperature: 8°–10°C
Aging potential: 2–3 years after harvest
