This Sauvignon Blanc is full of tropical flavours of passionfruit and blackcurrant with a subtle mineral note adding complexity. The palate is rich, full and weighty with a lingering fresh finish.
Rev. Father John Sloane blessed the land at the first vine planting celebration in Blenheim, Marlborough in 1974. With this blessing the Marlborough region has become synonymous for some of the best wine producing grapes and wines in the world.

History: Neal and Judy Ibbotson were pioneers in the Marlborough wine industry, first planting vineyards in the valley in 1978 and then establishing Saint Clair Family Estate in 1994. They own 160 hectares of vineyard in ten different Marlborough locations chosen specifically for the attributes of their individual terroir and ability to produce top quality grapes.
Regional information: Marlborough is situated at the top north eastern tip of New Zealand's South Island at altitude of 40 degrees south of the equator, parallel to some of the worlds' major wine growing regions in the Northern Hemisphere. Experts find it hard to believe that the first grapes were planted in Marlborough as recently as 1973. Marlborough is now the largest grape growing and winemaking region in New Zealand and produces approximately 70 percent of New Zealand's wine exports.
Vinification: Made with 100% Sauvignon Blanc from vines between 11-20 years old and located within different sub regions throughout Marlborough. Grapes were machine harvested and pressed off immediately to minimise skin contact. Fermentation took place at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks.
