Saint Clair Family Estate – Pioneer Block 3 – Sauvignon Blanc 2015 – Marlborough, Dillons Point

The nose is fruity, gourmand and relatively elegant. It reveals notes of citrus (lemon, mandarin, a touch of grapefruit) and passion fruit combined with a touch of pineapple, quenette as well as slight notes of papaya and Granny Smith apple. The palate is suave, fruity, quite elegant, well-balanced, racy and offers an unctuous matter, fat, harmony and an acid frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of white fruit and passion fruit combined with slight notes of quenette, citrus, apple and a discreet note of lemon zest on the persistence. Good length and persistence.
