Saint Clair Estate Selection Pinot Noir

Think of Marlborough and chances are Sauvignon Blanc comes to mind. But the region is making some great Pinot Noir too, generally lighter in style than those from further south but with bright, juicy red berry fruit flavours and – like this one – just the right amount of grip. Made by the Ibbotson family, pioneers in the region (they’ve been there since the late ’70s), it’s pretty reasonably priced for Pinot. Gorgeous with monkfish curry, as it turns out.
