TROPHY & TRIPLE GOLD BARREL-FERMENTED MARLBOROUGH CHARDONNAY
TROPHY FOR CHAMPION CHARDONNAY | NWAA 2024
GOLD MEDAL | Decanter World Wine Awards 2024
GOLD MEDAL | NWAA 2024
GOLD MEDAL | Marlborough Wine Show 2024
With a seriously impressive Gold Medal from the Decanter World Wine Awards plus two more Gold Medals and a Trophy win, the Saint Clair Pioneer Block 10 Twin Hills is rich, complex, barrel-fermented Marlborough Chardonnay at its very best.
Hailing from the 2022 vintage, portions of the fruit were handpicked and whole bunch pressed to retain the bright stone fruit and delicate citrus flavours that the region is known for. The palate is rich and full with toast and spice from fermentation in barrel (24% new oak) and finishes long and delectably creamy.
This exceptional wine is drinking excellently now but will also continue to cellar for the next five years or more. Sitting under the $30 barrier on case buys, this chardonnay offers tremendous value. Don't miss out.

The winery writes "Perfumed aromas of stonefruit and lemon curd with toasted oak and lifted spice. Elegant and structured with flavours of white peach, nectarine and roasted almond with a chalky mineral note on the lingering finish. Nine months maturation on lees in French oak barrels has assisted with creating a rich creaminess and fine tannin structure."
