2025 Saint Clair Wairau Reserve Sauvignon Blanc

Saint Clair is named after James Sinclair, who was responsible for the first settlements in Blenheim, New Zealand, the home of the winery on the South Island. Founded in 1978, the family business is among the pioneers of viticulture in Marlborough. Hence, the link to pioneer James Sinclair was quickly established. Saint Clair owns over 270 hectares of vineyards in Marlborough on the South Island, and in Hawke's Bay on the North Island.

The Saint Clair Wairau Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is Saint Clair's flagship. Produced in very small quantities, the wine has achieved iconic status in many markets around the world and is considered New Zealand's most awarded Sauvignon Blanc.

The Sauvignon grapes for the Saint Clair Wairau Reserve Sauvignon Blanc come from vineyards in the south of the Wairau Valley, New Zealand. The vineyards are located close to the coast, which provides significant cooling. The temperature difference between day and night is large. As a result, the grapes ripen slowly, which enhances flavor concentration. After harvesting, the grapes are pressed, with contact with the skins avoided as much as possible. The juice is cold-fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve maximum freshness.

In the glass, this amazing Wairau Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is a typical lemon yellow. On the nose, the wine has expressive aromas of redcurrant, passion fruit, and green notes (blackcurrant leaf, grass), and naturally, citrus as well. On the nose, this is a rich wine with plenty of passion fruit, papaya, and melon, combined with a saline touch. Delicious with oysters and mussels.
