Country: New Zealand Region: Marlborough Varietal: Riesling Vintage: 2011 Colour: Red Style: Dry Producer: Saint Clair Description:  Saint Clair has developed six vineyards in different sites in Marlborough, including the Rapaura, Awatere, Waihopai and Omaka Valleys. Only superior fruit from the best locations for each individual variety is selected for the Saint Clair label. Other factors contributing to wine quality include a sustainable approach with minimal use of vineyard sprays, open canopy with good light and airflow, leaf plucking, fruit and shoot thinning and selection with no cultivation. After harvest the fruit is moved rapidly from vine, to press, to tank and barrel, to preserve fruit quality and character. Tasting Note : Bright citrus aromas with a hint of spice and floral notes. The palate offers fresh bursts of lime and orange with an underlying creaminess. The fruit flavours give a sweet impression which finishes dry. Food Matching:  Fresh Fish
