Product Notes

Saint Clair Wairau Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is an exquisite New Zealand wine, lauded internationally. With an invigorating bouquet of passionfruit and blackcurrant, this wine is vibrant and intensely flavourful. By aging on lees, the wine acquires a richness that partners beautifully with its refreshing acidity. On the palate, it showcases mouth-watering exotic fruits layered with mineral undertones, yielding a long, striking finish. Perfectly balanced, this Sauvignon Blanc is laudable not only for its vivacity, but also its complexity. It's a quintessential choice when aiming to impress, ideally pairing with seafood dishes.

Tasting Notes

An intensely fragrant wine, where aromas of tropical blackcurrant bud and passionfruit are complemented by delicate notes of green nettle. Rich and beautifully balanced on the palate with vibrant flavours of passionfruit, redcurrant, papaya and melon leading to a long, lingering finish.
