Saint Clair Pioneer Block 1 Foundation Sauvignon Blanc 2022

This dry white wine made from Sauvignon Blanc comes from the prestigious Wairau Valley in the Marlborough region. It offers aromas of passion fruit and blackcurrant with mineral undertones, accompanied by a chalky texture and a persistent saline finish.

Key facts

  • Grape variety: Sauvignon Blanc
  • D.O. / Region: Wairau Valley, Marlborough
  • Winery: Saint Clair Family Estate
  • Soil / Altitude: Deep, fertile, well-draining soils, 3 meters above sea level

The vineyard

The grapes originate from the Pioneer Block 1 family vineyard, located on flat land in the lower Wairau Valley. The deep, fertile soils feature excellent drainage, which, combined with the cooler climate of the area, allows for a slow and balanced ripening of the fruit.

Ideal combination

Winemaking

Harvesting takes place in the cool of the evening to preserve the freshness of the grapes. Following a rapid pressing to minimize skin contact, the juice undergoes fermentation at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks using selected yeasts.

Why buy it

This white wine stands out for its varietal typicity and the purity of its tropical and herbal aromas. It is an ideal choice for those seeking a Marlborough wine with a distinct mineral character and vegan-friendly certification.

Basic snd plain NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Overpriced! Intriguing and interesting label on the bottle of this wine-but then….simple and nothing interesting when tasting. But…. rather expressive aroma. 4.1 for aroma and 3.6 for the taste. Very short finish. I can buy for such value much better NZ SB.

(4,0) As always, the Block 1 is one of the most substantial wines in the range. Grapefruit, nectarine, peach, some lychee, lime. Pure and clean. Depth. Some green bell pepper notes too.

Good example of NZ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. If you like these, then this wine gives you bang for the buck. High acidity, fruity. Grass, citrus and tropical fruit on the nose. Palate follows these with gooseberry and some minerality. Fairly long.

Upfront Note: A very good and really interesting and powerful SB. Especially for a price under 20€. Colour: Very Pale yellow - nearly water. Nose: Rich fruits: Nectarine, apricot combine with tropical passion fruit and a very tangy note. Taste: Complex and rich. The fruit is still there but not with the expected sweetness. Tropical acidity. The 13% of alcohol are present. Gooseberry and a green salt note. Finish: Smooth acidity and a slightly numb taste.
