Saint Clair Wairau Reserve Sauvignon Blanc

“Is this New Zealand’s most decorated sauvignon blanc label?” asks Master of Wine Bob Campbell of Saint Clair Wairau Reserve Sauvignon Blanc.

Well, if we had a quick peek at his scores of this legendary New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc label and with scores of 95/100 or higher in 2021, 2020, 2018, 2016, 2015, 2013, 2012, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006. You be the judge!

And one of NZ’s other most iconic wine critics, Michael Cooper, has been raving about this one for ages. “Marlborough’s largest family-owned wine producer has an extensive array of Sauvignon Blancs. This is not the region’s most complex Savvy, but in terms of sheer pungency, it’s a star, having won countless gold medals and trophies since the first, 2001 vintage.”

Saint Clair Wairau Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is rated as a “Super Classic” by Cooper he goes on to say “It is typically super-charged, in an exuberantly fruity, very pure and zesty style.”
