Wine & Spirits:  Rated as Exceptional examples of their type. "A fresh, fragrant take on Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, this blends fruit from Rapaura, Lower Wairau & the Brancott Valley. It’s long on passionfruit & tangy orange citrus flavor, firm & full in texture. Match its juicy richness with a shellfish stew." Feb 2012

Winery: "Colour: Pale straw with green hues. Aroma: A lifted nose showing aromas of passionfruit, blackcurrant, grapefruit and nettles with refreshing underlying mineral notes. Palate: Light bodied and refreshing with typical Marlborough flavours of gooseberry, blackcurrant and grapefruit. A pleasing mineral note leads to a long lingering finish."

Wired For Wine:  The delicious tangy citrus of the Saint Clair Vicar's Choice Sauvignon Blanc is our refreshing signal that spring might not be as far away as we thought! The fruit flavors along with the mineral notes of this bright, fresh white are perfect with baby vegetables, most any ocean fare, fish, and chicken. Pour your first chilled glass and dig into a plate of fried calamari with a spicy anchovy mayo. Another starting option for this Vicar's Choice is a dozen iced oysters served with either a zippy mignonette or cocktail sauce, or individual, mini bowls of lobster chowder (if you're looking to impress). For lunch, or a light dinner, this Sauvignon Blanc is perfect with your favorite salad, crumbled chevre and grilled chicken on top. We love this Saint Clair with spaghettini tossed in a light cream sauce made with white wine, fresh tomatoes, fennel and flaked salmon. It's a match made in heaven! A more substantial recommendation is a pan-seared Chilean Sea Bass with a warm, young, grilled vegetable salad and bacon vinaigrette. Delectable. Take a moment, and if you're able, savor that last glass or two with a lemon tart topped with a heaping spoonful of whipped cream. What are you waiting for winelovers??
