Marlborough GI Sauvignon Blanc 'Pioneer Block 6' 2021 (750 ml.) Saint Clair
The Sauvignon Blanc 'Pioneer Block 6' from Saint Clair is a New Zealand white wine with intense and elegant aromas that originates from one of the most suitable areas of the entire island, the Marlborough Valley. Here, the soil is deep, highly suited for viticulture, and influenced by a cool maritime climate. The winemaking process occurs in stainless steel containers at low temperatures to preserve the freshness of the primary grape aromas. The aging takes place for several months also in steel. The 'Pioneer Block 6' presents a bouquet with intensely concentrated aromas of linden leaf and chopped thyme with green herbaceous characteristics. Incredibly sharp taste with powerful flavors of passion fruit, grapefruit, and fresh herbs. Long and persistent finish.

THE COMPANY
The winery Saint Clair was established in 1978, when New Zealand and the Marlborough wine region were largely unknown to many. Neal and Judy Ibbotson decided to plant the first Sauvignon vineyards, convinced that this prestigious grape variety could yield great results in the New Zealand terroir. Today, the situation has certainly changed: New Zealand is considered one of the most suitable regions in the world for Sauvignon production, and the Marlborough area is a true guarantee for lovers of quality wine.
Saint Clair produces its wines at the northern tip of the South Island of New Zealand, where the vineyards are protected by mountains on both sides and the sun warms the grapes for many hours a day. For this reason, the grapes maintain a perfect balance between sugars and acids, developing unique aromas that well represent the terroir. It is no coincidence that Decanter has chosen Saint Clair Sauvignon as the best Sauvignon in the world for two consecutive years. Despite the great worldwide success, Saint Clair remains a family-run winery, always guided by the same passion of Neal and Judy.
If you want to experience Sauvignon of great elegance that can narrate the soul of a distant land, surrounded by the waters of the Pacific Ocean, Saint Clair represents the best choice. A winery that has made history in New Zealand and has brought the world's wine excellence south, to the Southern Hemisphere and the wonderful vineyards of Marlborough.
