Saint Clair Vicar’s Choice Bright Light Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Pale green. Aroma:

Fresh aromas of blackcurrant, green capsicum and lifted apple blossom Palate:

A crisp and refreshing palate bursting with herbaceous flavours of ripe greens, currant and nettle. This wine is ‘lighter’ in alcohol than the standard equivalent, with no compromise on tropical flavour intensity or complexity. Ageing Potential:

Perfect for drinking immediately or over the next three years. Winemaking and Viticulture Winemakers:

Stewart Maclennan Winemaking and Viticulture:

The fruit was sourced from selected vineyard sites located in Marlborough’s Wairau Valley. Grapes were harvested at optimum flavour intensity before the sugar levels became too high. This allowed the production of a wine lower in alcohol but rich in flavour. The grapes were machine harvested at cool temperatures and processed immediately to minimise skin contact. The juice was cool fermented in stainless steel to retain varietal character and freshness. Fermentation was stopped to retain some residual sugar in order to give the wine palate weight.
