Neal and Judy Ibbotson were pioneers in the Marlborough wine industry, first planting vineyards in the valley in 1978 and then establishing Saint Clair Estate in 1994. They own 100 hectares of vineyards in six different Marlborough locations chosen specifically for the attributes of their individual locations and ability to produce top quality grapes. Neal Ibbotson combines his extensive viticultural expertise with the talent of one of New Zealand’s leading winemaking teams, led by Matt Thomson and Hamish Clark .From 1994 when wines from the first vintage all won medals including gold, the name Saint Clair has been synonymous with quality and its award-winning record continues today.

Vinification: Hand harvested Noble Riesling grapes are whole bunch pressed and tank fermented with selected yeasts specifically designed to develop noble characters. Fermentation is ceased at ideal balance as determined by the palate of the winemaker. The resulting wine maintains a high residual sugar balanced by fresh acid. The final wine is then stabilised and prepared for bottling.

Tasting Note: The palate shows luscious pear and stone fruit with a hint of beeswax and a long lingering honey and lemon zest finish.

Every day serving suggestion: Serve chilled with ripened soft cheeses or dried fruits. It is also a beautiful match with fresh fruit salad or an apricot pie with whipped cream.
