Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand: Saint Clair Sauvignon Blanc 2008


Pale straw with green hues. Intense and powerful aromas of blackcurrant, passionfruit, grapefruit and gooseberry. A full, crisp and powerful wine showing intense flavors of passionfruit and blackcurrant, with underlying gooseberry tones. This wine has mouth-watering acidity and an intense minerality balanced by a full yet elegant palate with a long, lingering finish.

Perfect for drinking immediately this wine will be at its best over the next one to two years.

Bright and jazzy, this is a bit raucous but gets a kick from citrusy acidity and a distinct minerality as the green apple and spearmint flavors race through the finish. Drink now. 5,000 cases imported.
