Product details
Saint Clair Family Estate, established in 1994 by Neal and Judy Ibbotson, is a family-owned winery in Marlborough, New Zealand, renowned for producing premium wines that capture the essence of their unique terroir. The 2024 Dillons Point Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc exemplifies the winery's commitment to quality and expression of the region's distinctive characteristics. Sourced from the lower Wairau sub-region, particularly the Dillons Point area, this wine benefits from the region's ideal conditions for cultivating Sauvignon Blanc, resulting in heightened aromatic expression and flavor intensity.
In the glass, this Sauvignon Blanc presents a pale green hue, indicative of its freshness. The nose is greeted with ripe tropical aromas of passionfruit, grapefruit, and blackcurrant, complemented by a hint of fresh snow pea. On the palate, it is rich and weighty, offering flavors of white stone fruit and blackcurrant intertwined with herbaceous green characters. A generous mouthfeel is enhanced by a salty minerality, leading to a clean, fresh finish. This wine pairs exceptionally well with freshly prepared shellfish, where its crisp acidity and vibrant fruit flavors harmonize with the briny sweetness of the seafood. Enjoy this Sauvignon Blanc slightly chilled to fully appreciate its aromatic complexity and refreshing profile.
