"Great definition of flavour and purity of fruit on this gold-medal Marlborough Sauvignon made by award-winning winemaker Matt Thomson. The back label says you'll find passionfruit and blackcurrant flavours. We found asparagus and nettle - which only goes to show how subjective taste is! One thing is for sure, the finish is incredibly long - the sign of a concentrated and refined wine. We think you'll like it."
From 1994 when wines from the first vintage all won medals including gold, the name Saint Clair has been synonymous with quality and its award-winning record continues today. Top International accolades include the trophy to Saint Clair/Matt Thomson for White Winemaker of the Year at the London International Wine Challenge, September 2008 and the coveted trophy for Best New Zealand Wine Producer of the Year at the International Wine and Spirit Competition 2005. Saint Clair Family Estate also has the distinction of being the first New Zealand wine company to win major international trophies for Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir in the same year. Fruit for this wine was sourced from a variety of vineyards and sub-regions including the Lower Wairau Valley and Rapaura. Each vineyard block was harvested when it had reached maximum flavour maturity and physiological ripeness.
Sealed with a screwcap.
