Regional Information
Marlborough is situated at the top of New Zealand's South Island and receives long days of sunshine and cool nights during the growing season. Fruit was sourced from a selection of premium vineyards located in the Dillons Point sub-region of the lower Wairau Valley, at the mouth of the Wairau River. These vineyards are planted on floodplains, rich in nutrients, producing wines with heightened expression. Each vineyard block was harvested at optimum flavour maturity and physiological ripeness.
Current Vintage
2021
Vinification Details
The grapes were machine harvested and transported to the winery quickly and pressed off immediately to minimise skin contact. After cold settling the juice from each batch was fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures using selected yeast strains.
Every batch of Saint Clair wine (from each different vineyard site) is kept separate in small tanks allowing us to showcase our regions diversity for Sauvignon Blanc. The final wine is then carefully finished and bottled.

Proper fresh Sauvignon Blanc
Have tried many NZ Sauvignon Blancs and this along with Brancott Terrier Series are my favourite from Ocado. So fresh and delicate not tart. A really good example, reminds me of Cloudy Bay.

Someone liked it
Not a fan of NZ Sav Blanc, but my mother (who is) enjoyed it. A bit like some other well-known brands.
