Part of Saint Clair’s renowned Pioneer Block series, Block 3 comes from a single vineyard site in Lower Wairau, Marlborough, where the cool maritime climate and riverbed soils produce fruit of intense character. The grapes were harvested in the cool of the night and fermented in stainless steel to preserve vibrancy. The 2023 vintage delivers concentration, energy and clarity—hallmarks of top-tier Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
Bouquet Aromatic and lifted with notes of passionfruit, grapefruit and blackcurrant leaf. Hints of elderflower, lemongrass and crushed herbs add freshness and finesse.
Palate Dry and zesty with racy acidity and a juicy, fruit-laden core. Flavours of citrus, gooseberry and tropical fruit flow into a long, mineral-edged finish.
Food Pairing Perfect with oysters, grilled prawns, goats’ cheese, or fresh asparagus. Also delicious with Thai salads, herbed chicken or sushi.
