Colour

Clean, clear and bright. Yellow with greenish reflections. Very nice to see.

AROMA:

In the nose, the tropical notes together with the aromas of vegetables blend perfectly with each other. On top of it are green currants, with herbaceous notes of fennel and grass, green asparagus, and tropical fruits such as mango and passionfruit will dance with each other in perfect harmony.

TASTE:

Taste with a great taste and character. It is fresh and creamy, with hints of tropical fruit and vegetables on the nose once again catching the palate. Elegantly mineral and with a savory feel, it helps to redouble the long, persistent finish of a memorable Sauvignon Blanc.

Ideal with salads where the fruit is the protagonist, such as a salad of strawberries, pepper and Iberian ham, grilled vegetables, tuna sashimi.

With their extensive winemaking experience, the Ibbotsons began to create quality wines, faithful representatives of their terrain and climate, achieving great fame even outside their borders. The Saint Clair winery was also one of the first in New Zealand to win international medals with its Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir wines.

They have vineyards in Marlborough, distributed between the Wairau, Awatere and Ure Valley areas, which allows them to cultivate the different varieties that work in the most suitable soils for each one of them. In 2001 they introduced a classification system for all their vineyards, pursuing the highest quality each year in all their wines. In addition, they ecologically cultivate their entire vineyard.

The fruit was pressed as quickly as possible to minimize skin contact and deterioration of the juice after harvest. After settling, the juice was fermented using selected yeast in 100% stainless steel at cold temperatures to retain the flavor and freshness of the fruit. This batch was selected as a Pioneer Block wine due to its unique flavor, intensity and complexity.
