Barrique Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Saint Clair Barrique Sauvignon Blanc 2021 is an exclusive limited-edition Sauvignon Blanc aged in barrique barrels, offering a creamy texture, elegance and depth. Aromas of ripe fruit blend beautifully with subtle oak and a mineral note. This wine is ideal with food and has excellent ageing potential.

The wine is crafted by hand, with a greater emphasis on the winemaker’s skill:
• gentle pressing and brief settling
• transfer to French barriques (both used and partly new)
• a combination of spontaneous fermentation and controlled fermentation using selected yeasts
• 11 months of ageing on the lees with regular stirring (batonnage)
• only the finest barrels were selected for the final blend after careful sensory evaluation

This approach gives the wine a character, texture, and complexity that set it apart from classic “terroir-driven” Sauvignon Blanc.

The wine was created specifically for gastronomy—its texture, delicate spice and maturity make it versatile with:
• creamy sauces and beurre blanc
• premium fish (salmon, tuna, halibut)
• veal and chicken supreme
• delicate Asian fusion dishes
• aged goat’s and sheep’s cheeses
