Country: New Zealand / Marlborough
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Winery: Saint Clair / Pioneer Block 20 Dillons Point Cash Block
The Dillons Point subregion of Marlborough often produces particularly pungent examples of Sauvignon Blanc, but this wine doesn’t quite hew to that mold. The herbal notes are prominent but well mannered, backed by plenty of mild citrus—think white grapefruit—and melon. Ample weight, a silky texture and a lengthy finish complete the package.
