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. On the palate, the taste of passion fruit and gooseberry. Its striking minerality and a long-lasting finish characterize this Sauvignon Blanc. What makes this white wine so distinctive is its spicy taste - often attributed to the coastal location in the north of the South Island - and its low sweetness.
Ideal with vegetarian cuisine with fresh seafood or summer salads.
This wine from the Saint Clair winery is vegan.

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.
