Saint Clair Wairau Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Colour: Pale green

Aroma: Opulent and expressive with concentrated aromas of white currant and passionfruit with an interlaced green thread.

Palate: Pure and focused with complex layers of bright citrus and tropical fruit. The palate is textural and rich with salty mineral notes and a long lingering finish.

Ageing potential: Drinking beautifully now and will be at its best over the next three years.

Food match: An exceptional food friendly wine which will match beautifully with freshly shucked oysters or steamed mussels.

The juice was pressed off immediately to minimize skin contact and juice deterioration following harvesting. After settling the juice was fermented in stainless steel using a selected yeast strain. The fermentation was carried out at cool temperatures to retain varietal characters and freshness. This parcel was identified by our winemaking team during comprehensive blind tastings as the very best batch of wine produced for the 2021 vintage and therefore bottled as the Saint Clair Wairau Reserve.
