Saint Clair Family Estate Sauvignon Blanc Barrique

Chez Rita et Ted

The missus ordered this and I liked it so much that I ordered another glass for myself. Surprisingly low acidity, maybe because I'm traumatised by a certain European Sauvignon Blanc that tasted outright like grapefruit juice - but I digressed. There was definitely grapefruit note but it was subtle and mellow and blended really well with green apple and floral notes. Also hint of lime zest, peach and "cat pee". It paired really well with the roasted pork belly that …

Comparatively tropical and luscious for a NZ SB with, of course, a touch of grass on the edge.

[Tasted blind] Tasted blind to another SB (Sancerre as it turned out to be) and this one was not my preferred one (largely due to the intense cat pee aroma’s and less interesting palate) Aroma’s: Green apple, grapefruit, cat pee, passion fruit, green pepper, mango Palate: Green pepper, green apple and grapefruit High acidity

Fruity as all Saint Clairs Sauvignon blanc

gute Frucht und angenehme Mineralität. nicht ganz so frisch, spritzig und knackig wie andere Vertreter, sondern eher etwas getragen und wahrscheinlich etwas länger ausgebaut.

Lovely wine with grapfruit, peach and lime zest on the pallate. Fresh acidity and no oak. Perfect pairing with ant seafood.

Floral, beau bouquet
