Saint Clair is a multi-awarded estate and this is its flagship Sauvignon Blanc which, in 2018, still delivers those passion fruit, tropical and melon tones so associated with the Marlborough style, but in a more more elegant, gentle package than previous vintages. Mouthwatering citrus acidity, flinty mineral notes and real vibrancy keeps the tongue tingling through the long finish. Pricey but worth it.
