Saint Clair Family Estate Showing Shining 2011
Releases At New World Wine Awards
A widely recognised
New Zealand international commercial wine show has seen
Saint Clair Family Estate excel with its newly released
Sauvignon Blanc wines from the 2011 vintage. The New World
Wine Awards 2011 launched its results today, announcing the
top 50 medal-winning wines.
Over a thousand entries
were judged by 14 of New Zealand’s top wine judges, with
entries needing to score 18.5 or higher to be awarded a gold
medal.
Saint Clair Family Estate was awarded two
highly acclaimed gold medals:
Gold Medal - Saint Clair Vicar’s Choice Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Gold Medal - Saint Clair Marlborough Premium Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Both
wines are on the New World Wine Awards Top 50 list, further
cementing Saint Clair’s reputation of quality at each and
every price point.
“It’s a thrill to see the 2011
vintage wines show their potential and be recognised by a
top class judging panel,” comments Managing Director Neal
Ibbotson. “Both wines provide consumers with a quality
wine with great drinking style and excellent value for
money.”
The 2011 Saint Clair Family Estate wines are
newly released and already demonstrating the Saint Clair
shine. Looks like another exceptional vintage is set to show
outstanding quality from the family-owned Marlborough
winery.
