Saint Clair Family Estate
Pioneer Block 3 - 43 Degrees Sauvignon Blanc Dillons Point Sauvignon Blanc
Herbaceous at first then straight on to the beautiful passion fruit, guava, banana and melon!
Powerful, well textured and has great length. Always a favourite and opening up well after two days!

Strange smell and taste.
Tried with Spaghetti Vongole bianchi.

Pale straw colour with hints of green apple. A bouquet of tropical fruits with some herbaceousness and again that green apple edge. Juicy lemon, melon and grapefruit flavours with a light mineral edge and perhaps some dry herbs on the finish. Not overly acidic and although initially quite concentrated it opened up quite quickly. Worth noting that the vineyard's tasting notes advise drinking it within the first 2 years of release. Overall a good value, if atypical, Marlborough (which we found in Costco) though alas not at all to my wife's taste!
