The long finish with a subtle salty note also makes the wine an outstanding creation.

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.

Saint Clair Pioneer Block 3 "43 Degrees" Sauvignon Blanc

The Saint Clair Pioneer Block 3 "43 Degrees" Sauvignon Blanc comes from the Pioneer Block series of the Saint Clair winery in New Zealand and expresses the special terroir of the "Block 3" site in an impressive way.The vines in this growing area are planted at an unusual angle, 43 degrees north-east to south-west. Hence the special name for this particular, pale straw-colored wine. The slightly greenish character of the grapes on the south side and the more tropical character on the north side result in the unique complexity of the wine.The grapes were pressed as quickly as possible to minimize contact with the skins and to harvest the juice's greatest potential. After the addition of selected yeasts, 100% of the fermented juice was matured in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to preserve maximum fruit flavor and freshness. This dry white wine was selected as a Pioneer Block wine due to its unique taste, intensity and complexity.The Pioneers Block Sauvignon Blanc series is the internationally recognized trademark of Saint Clair. The wines are made from grapes from small plots with a special location. The yield is small and the wines are only available in limited quantities.Powerful with intense aromas of blackcurrant bud, passion fruit and gooseberry. This Sauvigon Blanc is fresh and vibrant.

Saint Clair Pioneer Block 20 "Cash Block" Sauvignon Blanc

The Saint Clair Pioneer Block 20 "Cash Block" Sauvignon Blanc comes from the lower Wairau Valley in Marlborough, a former river plain with deep, fertile and well-drained soils. The shallow location and the maritime, slightly cooler climate with a prolonged ripening process ensure a slow development of aromas and a pronounced freshness. The healthy foliage and the rows of vines, which deviate slightly from the classic north-south orientation, also contribute to the characteristic aromas of this single-vineyard wine.The grapes come mainly from a single vineyard and are carefully monitored and harvested in the cool evening hours at optimum ripeness. The must is pressed immediately after harvesting to minimize contact with the skins and preserve freshness. After clarification, fermentation takes place with selected yeasts at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks. Due to its power, intensity and balance, this wine is selected as part of the Pioneer Block series.On the nose, the wine displays intense aromas of ripe gooseberry and crushed herbs, complemented by subtle notes of sea shells. On the palate, it is fresh yet full-bodied with aromas of gooseberry, grapefruit zest and a hint of oyster shell. A salty minerality leads to a long-lasting, refreshing finish.An excellent accompaniment to grilled fish with fresh green herbs.
