Description: 

Saint Clair has developed six vineyards in different sites in Marlborough, including the Rapaura, Awatere, Waihopai and Omaka Valleys. Only superior fruit from the best locations for each individual variety is selected for the Saint Clair label.

Other factors contributing to wine quality include a sustainable approach with minimal use of vineyard sprays, open canopy with good light and airflow, leaf plucking, fruit and shoot thinning and selection with no cultivation. After harvest the fruit is moved rapidly from vine, to press, to tank and barrel, to preserve fruit quality and character.

Tasting Note :

Ripe red cherry, and fresh dried herb interweave with perfumed floral notes, spice and fresh coffee. Fresh red cherry and raspberries combine with toasted spices with a full round palate weight, silky texture and a long savoury finish.
