2021 Saint Clair Vicar's Choice Sauvignon Blanc Bubbles

Saint Clair is named after James Sinclair, who was responsible for the early settlements in Blenheim, New Zealand, home to the South Island winery. Founded in 1978, the family-owned winery is one of the pioneers of winegrowing in Marlborough. Hence, the link with pioneer James Sinclair was soon established. Saint Clair owns 270 acres of vineyards in Marlborough on the South Island and Hawke's Bay on the North Island.

After the harvest, the grapes are pressed, avoiding contact with the skins as much as possible. The juice is cold fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve their freshness. Carbon dioxide is then added to the Saint Clair Vicar's Choice Sauvignon Blanc Bubbles.

In the glass, the Saint Clair Vicar's Choice Sauvignon Blanc Bubbles has a typical lemon-yellow color. In the nose we smell notes of grapefruit, passion fruit, nectarine and citrus. On the palate, the wine has a lively bubble with recognizable notes of tropical fruit and subtle lime/mineral notes. Perfect as an aperitif and delicious with sushi and spicy Asian dishes.
