The 2024 Saint Clair Origin Pinot Gris is a rich and expressive Marlborough white wine, crafted from selected vineyards across the Wairau and Awatere Valleys, showcasing a full, textured and slightly off-dry style. It reflects a modern New Zealand approach that balances ripe fruit with freshness and subtle complexity. The nose is inviting and aromatic, with notes of poached pear, apple and stone fruit, layered with hints of spice, vanilla and delicate floral nuances.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a smooth, rounded mouthfeel and lively acidity. Ripe orchard fruit, gentle spice and a touch of minerality are complemented by a soft, lingering finish with subtle sweetness. The style is generous yet balanced, offering richness without heaviness and excellent drinkability.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is perfect for customers who enjoy fuller, slightly off-dry whites with texture and flavour. It’s approachable, versatile and very food-friendly. Best enjoyed now or over the next 2–3 years. Ideal with pork, roast chicken, Asian cuisine or lightly spiced dishes.
