Saint Clair Origin Riesling

A sophisticated and wonderfully refreshing white wine that showcases the renowned quality and unique characteristics of the Riesling grape from New Zealand's famous Marlborough region.

This wine is bright lemon in color and opens with fragrant notes of Kaffir lime, mandarin, and green apple, layered with hints of orange blossom and beeswax.

On the palate, it exhibits a perfect balance of delicate sweetness and racy acidity, with a distinct minerality and a crisp, off-dry finish.

Saint Clair Family Estate was established in 1994 by viticultural pioneers Neal and Judy Ibbotson.

They have been growing grapes in Marlborough since 1978 and their Sauvignon Blanc is considered among the best in New Zealand. The name Saint Clair has become synonymous with quality and the winery boasts an impressive record of awards.

With its zesty flavors and lively acidity, this versatile Riesling pairs beautifully with a variety of cuisines, making it an excellent accompaniment to seafood or spice-infused dishes.

The grapes for this Riesling are harvested from a single vineyard in the Blind River area of the Awatere Valley, a sub-region of Marlborough known for producing wines with concentrated citrus expression. The fruit is fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks to retain the freshness, intensity, and varietal characteristics of the grape.
