Saint Clair Pioneer Block Chardonnay 2019/20, Marlborough

St. Clair have gone for maximum impact and expression with this Chardonnay, fermenting 100% of the grapes in a mixture of new and old French oak, before ageing the wine on for 9 months, with regular stirring to draw full character from the lees. The New Zealand trademarks of fresh and snappy peach and tropical fruits are finished with a wonderfully soft, generous texture and a biscuity edge. Rich, with plentiful amounts of pure, tropical fruit, this wine is fantastic with grilled asparagus or fish with parsley sauce.
