Saint Clair Pioneer Block 2 Swamp Block

The Saint Clair Pioneer Block 2 Swamp Block is a Sauvignon Blanc with a strong character from the renowned wine region of Marlborough, New Zealand. The "Pioneer Block" series stands for single-vineyard wines with a unique terroir expression. The Swamp Block, named after the former wetlands of the region, produces particularly aromatic and concentrated grapes that give this wine its extraordinary intensity.

The vines grow on deep, cool soils, which ensure slow ripening and intensify the fruit aromas. After selective hand-picking, the grapes are gently pressed and the must fermented cold to preserve the fresh aromas. The wine is matured in stainless steel tanks, allowing it to retain its lively fruit and pronounced minerality.

The Saint Clair Pioneer Block 2 Swamp Block is light gold in color with green reflections. The nose is dominated by intense aromas of tropical fruits such as passion fruit, passion fruit and ripe pineapple, complemented by notes of fresh garden herbs. On the palate, it is powerful and complex with a crisp acidity and a fine, mineral structure. The finish is long and refreshing, with lingering citrus and gooseberry flavors.

This Sauvignon Blanc is an ideal accompaniment to fish and seafood, especially oysters, ceviche or grilled salmon.

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.
