MARLBOROUGH

Increasing demand for Saint Clair Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from over 50 worldwide markets has seen the family-owned Marlborough wine company extend its portfolio to include a new sparkling Sauvignon Blanc - Saint Clair Vicar’s Choice Sauvignon Blanc Bubbles.


Extensive research from the Saint Clair winery has identified a market niche based on a fresh, herbaceous style of Sauvignon Blanc that shows classic varietal character and zest. The wine is carefully balanced to provide a refreshing and persistent off-dry finish, enlivened by bubbles.


The new sparkling Sauvignon Blanc will be integrated into the popular Saint Clair Vicar’s Choice range with a recommended retail of $16 [NZ], making it exceptional value that continues the Saint Clair philosophy of over-delivering at each and every price point.


Saint Clair Managing Director Neal Ibbotson comments, “This is an exciting opportunity for Saint Clair Family Estate to meet market demand and satisfy the increasing number of Saint Clair loyal supporters, as well as introduce new customers to the Saint Clair brand. With a strong winemaking team working with exceptional fruit, we are able to produce a sparkling wine of outstanding quality at an affordable price.”


Saint Clair Family Estate celebrated the Saint Clair Vicar’s Choice Sauvignon Blanc Bubbles on its release date of August 10th. The wine is available through wine stores and restaurants throughout New Zealand, as well as through Saint Clair Cellar Door and Café and on www.saintclair.co.nz
