Description
Saint Clair Family Estate Dillons Point Sauvignon Blanc — Marlborough, New Zealand 2025
Saint Clair Family Estate is one of Marlborough’s most celebrated family wineries, farming the Wairau Valley with a precision and commitment to sustainable viticulture that has made their Sauvignon Blanc a benchmark for the region. The Dillons Point is sourced from a selection of vineyards in the lower Wairau sub-region — an area renowned for producing Sauvignon Blanc of heightened aromatic expression, where the proximity to the coast brings a distinctive sea spray minerality and a natural freshness that sets it apart. Certified sustainable from vine to bottle. James Suckling awarded it 90 points.
The nose is generous and vivid: passion fruit, guava, gooseberry, and fresh-cut grass, with a tropical exuberance that is quintessentially Marlborough. On the palate, the wine is juicy and medium-bodied with lively limey acidity, flavors of grapefruit, lemon, peach, and tropical fruit, and a refreshingly crisp finish with a lingering sense of sea spray and minerality. Succulent, zesty, and deeply satisfying.
James Suckling 90 — “Vivid and juicy, with tropical aromas of passion fruit, gooseberries and grass, following through to a medium body with limey acidity. Succulent and zesty. Sustainable.” (Vintage 2025).
