The debut 2017 vintage (4*) is from a ‘selection of Saint Clair’s highest quality vineyards’, near the coast. Medium to full-bodied, it is fresh and lively, with ripe melon/lime flavours, showing very good depth, slightly ‘salty’ notes, and a finely balanced, dry (4.2 grams/litre of residual sugar), lingering finish.
