AN EXCELLENT EXPRESSION OF NZ PINOT BLANC
94/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS
Truly delightful pinot blanc from one of Marlborough's pre-eminent white wine producers. Saint Clair have a stellar reputation for producing outstanding whites, and this lovely pinot blanc definitely does not disappoint.
Though it's a white wine, pinot blanc is a genetic mutation of pinot noir that typically produces wines with flavours in the apple/stonefruit spectrum with crisp acidity on the finish. This 2022 release is just that. The Pioneer Block range is made from small parcels of outstanding fruit selected specialists sites and the attention to detail is evident in this delightful pinot blanc. With white peach and floral aromas, and a delicate fruit sweetness perfectly balanced by crisp acidity, this is one not to be missed.

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Lovely purity of fruit with scents of flowers and white fleshed stone fruit, citrus and spice. Flavours on the palate mirror the bouquet driven by a backbone of acidity and freshness, spice and purity of fruit. Ther’s a light saline touch, satin texture and balanced lengthy finish."
The winery writes "Perfumed white peach and floral aromas with a hint of peppered spice. Fresh green apple and honeydew melon layered with citrus peel. The palate displays crisp bright acidity with fresh fruit sweetness and an oily texture."
