Description
Saint Clair is named after James Sinclair, who was responsible for the first settlements in Blenheim, New Zealand, home of the winery on the South Island. Founded in 1978, the family business is one of the pioneers in wine growing in Marlborough. That is why the link with pioneer James Sinclair was quickly made. Saint Clair owns over 270 hectares of vineyards in Marlborough on the South Island and in Hawke's Bay on the North Island.
After harvest, the grapes are pressed, avoiding contact with the skins as much as possible. The juice is cold fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve their freshness. In the glass, the Saint Clair Marlborough Origin Sauvignon Blanc has a typical lemon yellow color with notes of passion fruit and guava in the nose. In the mouth the wine is expressive with tropical aromas with a mineral, fresh aftertaste. Delicious with mussels, oysters, clams and goat cheese.

2021 Sauvignon Blanc Origin
90
Drinking Window
2022 - 2025
From: Desperately Seeking Sauvignon (Mar 2022)
The 2021 Origin is a succulent, charming Sauvignon Blanc with plenty of weight. There's no denying its variety given the passionfruit and green herbal characters as well as the bright, grapefruit-like finish. While sweetly fruited, it's precise and tangy, with a lightly salty edge on the finish. A good effort and a great value.

"Toast, specerij, noot, steen fruit. Vulling, room, zacht zuur." - 4/5 sterren, Perswijn over de 2019-vintage
"Saint Clair's 2021 Wairau Reserve (£25) is a elegantly complex drop, but for crowd-pleasing drinking, this entry-level label – comprising mainly Lower Wairau fruit in 2022 – is always a reliable buy. Forward blackcurrant leaf and passionfruit, crisp grapefruit acidity and mineral tones." - 90 punten, Decanter over de 2022-vintage
