Saint Clair Pinoeer Pétillant Naturel 2024 750ml

The Saint Clair Pétillant Naturel 2024 is a celebration of minimal-intervention winemaking. Unlike typical single-variety Marlborough wines, this playful fizz combines 67% Pinot Gris, 18% Grüner Veltliner, and 15% Riesling sourced from sustainably cultivated, SWNZ-accredited vineyard sites.

Nose: Expressive aromas of crisp Granny Smith apple, fresh pear, and subtle citrus zest, underpinned by a soft, doughy autolytic character.

Palate: Vibrant and incredibly refreshing. The entry is driven by juicy stone fruits, leading into a textural, gently spicy mid-palate.

Finish: Bone-dry with a clean, lively acidity and a soft, persistent cloud-like effervescence.

Style Note: Unfiltered and undisgorged; expect a charmingly cloudy appearance and a unique evolution of flavor in every bottle.

Food Pairings: Outstanding with fresh oysters, sashimi, salt-and-pepper squid, aromatic Asian street food, and soft goat cheeses.

Cellaring: Crafted to capture raw, youthful energy, this wine is best enjoyed fresh (over the next 1 to 2 years). While the natural sediment will gently enrich the wine over time, it is at its absolute prime right now.
