Saint Clair Pioneer Block 1 "Foundation Block" Sauvignon Blanc

The wine has a pale straw yellow color with a green tinge. On the nose, intense aromas of tropical fruits such as melon and passion fruit as well as blackcurrant. On the palate, the full flavors of passion fruit and melon with subliminal salty nuances, complemented by a mineral note. The creamy texture and the looooong finale make the wine an outstanding creation.

The Wairau River flows in the north of the South Island of New Zealand. In the Wairau Valley, the vines for some of the distinctive wines of Saint Clair grow. The winery is famous around the world especially for its Sauvignon Blanc. In the Wairau valley lie the origins of the distinctive Block-range of Saint Clair. Hence the name of the Pioneer Block 1 Foundation Sauvignon Blanc.

Enjoy this white wine, matured in stainless steel tanks, to salmon and mussels.

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 6 "Oh! Block"
Offiziell benannt nach der Lage in der O'Dwyers Road, enthält der Name „Oh! Block“ auch eine heitere Anspielung auf die ersten Reaktionen der Weintrinker beim Genuss dieses aromatisch vollen Weines: „Oh my goodness what amazing flavours!“.Die Trauben des reinsortigen Sauvignon Blanc stammen aus einem einzigen Weinberg gelegen an der O'Dwyers Road im unteren Rapaura-Gebiet nördlich vom neuseeländischen Blenheim. Dieser Standort hat fruchtbare, tiefgründige Schlickböden. Nach der Ernte wird der Saft sofort abgepresst, sodass der Kontakt mit der Schale gering bleibt. Die Gärung findet mit einer Vielzahl ausgewählter Hefen in Edelstahltanks bei kühlen Temperaturen statt, um Fruchtaroma und Frische zu bewahren.Der Saint Clair Pioneer Block 6 "Oh Block" zeigt sich im Glas in einem blassen Grün. Der Weißwein erreicht die Nase mit einem spektakulären Duft nach intensiven konzentrierten Aromen von Lindenblättern und zerstoßenem Thymian mit krautigen grünen Noten. Am Gaumen dominieren Passionsfrucht- und Grapefruitaromen. Der Abgang ist lang und anhaltend.
