Saint Clair Wairau Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Colour: Pale green

Aroma: Pungent, intense aroma with green thread of nettle, thiols and white currant.

Palate: Pure and focussed with layers of passionfruit, jalepeno, crushed herb and minral notes, generous palette with good length.

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.
