Saint Clair Pioneer Block 3 43 Degrees Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Marlborough, New Zealand
43o is one of the most awarded single vineyard wines in the country!
Pretty clever planting from the St Clair team delivers a sensational Sauvignon of two halves - tropical fruit on one side coupled with grassy crushed herbs on the other.
Match its award winning twin characters with shellfish or fresh vegetable dishes.
Case of 6 ($23.90/bottle)
Block 3's consistency as an award winning Sauvy is phenomenal making it one of the most awarded single vineyard wines in the country. Since it conception in 2005 Block 3 has hauled in no less than 5 trophies and 9 gold medals. Block 3's bulging award cabinet has a lot to do with the vines been planted at a slightly unusual angle of 43 degrees (hence the name) rather than the traditional north to south. It is this varied angle leads to the development of two distinguished characters found in the wine. Tropical flavours from the north facing grapes vs Crushed Herb flavours from the south facing grapes. Pretty clever planting and has made this Sauvignon a firm favourite amoungst all those that try it especially with the prefect pairing of Marlborough Mussels.
