Saint Clair Pioneer Block 25 "Point Five" Sauvignon Blanc

The Saint Clair Pioneer Block 25 "Point Five" Sauvignon Blanc comes from the lower Wairau Valley in Marlborough and is produced from a single-vineyard vineyard that lies just 0.5 meters above sea level. The flat location on deep, fertile and well-drained soils as well as the maritime climate with cooler temperatures and extended ripening process ensure a particularly intense aroma. The proximity to Cloudy Bay has a temperature-balancing effect and favors a long growing season with pronounced freshness and minerality.

The grapes are carefully monitored and harvested at optimum physiological ripeness in the cool evening hours. To avoid oxidation, the must is pressed immediately after the harvest and then clarified. Fermentation takes place with selected yeasts at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and fruit aromas. The wine is selected as part of the Pioneer Block series due to its particularly high concentration of aromas.

On the nose, the wine displays lively aromas of white peach and blackcurrant, accompanied by a mineral note reminiscent of wet stone. The palate is rich and generous with layers of blackcurrant, fresh grapefruit and a hint of salt. Notes of crushed herbs and a clear, precise minerality lead into an elegant and lingering finish.

Excellent with fresh seafood and seasonal salads.

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.
