Saint Clair Family Estate New Zealand
Neal and Judy Ibbotson are recognized as pioneers within the Marlborough wine industry. They initiated vineyard plantings in the valley in 1978 and established the Saint Clair Family Estate in 1994. The Ibbotson possesses 160 hectares of vineyards spread across ten distinct locations in Marlborough, each selected for its unique terroir and capacity to produce superior-quality grapes.
Neal Ibbotson integrates his extensive expertise in viticulture with the capabilities of one of New Zealand's leading winemaking teams. The estate employs sustainable cultivation practices and has been certified by Sustainable Wines of New Zealand. Since 1994, when wines from the inaugural vintage garnered multiple accolades, including gold medals, the name Saint Clair has become synonymous with excellence. This sentiment is echoed by Bob Campbell MW, who asserts, "Saint Clair now produces the country’s, and perhaps the world’s, finest Sauvignon Blanc."
The winery’s consistent recognition in a variety of wine competitions, both locally and internationally, is a clear indication of the quality present across the entire range, reinforcing Saint Clair’s position as a leading New Zealand wine producer.
