Saint Clair Pioneer Block 9 Big John Marlborough Riesling 2017
This rendition stood out for its fruit purity – “not a bad effort for 2017”, noted Simon Nunns. It’s an off-dry style, offering bitter citrus notes and scaffolded by an attractive line of acidity and well-managed phenolics. Such an uncluttered, pristine wine would be perfect on its own as an aperitif.
