Once again Saint Clair is at the forefront of the wine review pages in the Cuisine Magazine. Any regular reader will often see Saint Clair wines in the line-up. In January 2021 issue, Saint Clair excelled in the tasting with five of the seven 5-star rated Sauvignon Blanc wines. The Cuisine issue number 205 that hit the shelves in April 2021, showcased excellence from Saint Clair within the Pinot Noir tasting. This time February 2022, it is the Saint Clair aromatic wines which rise to the top.
