- Candied strawberry and cranberry fruits are enhanced by spiced pear and a refreshing finish, making it dry and easy to drink. Watermelon blush with a medley of fresh strawberry and raspberry aromas with a hint of vanilla cream. It is refreshing and plush on the palate, with ripe orchard fruits, juicy pear, red berries and just a hint of cinnamon spice.
In 2001, Saint Clair introduced a grading system for each vineyard, marking them out of 10 for quality each year. This provides valuable information regarding which vineyards provide the best fruit and which varieties produce the best quality within each vineyard. The grading system is also used extensively as a management tool for identifying and improving best vineyard practices. The vineyards are carefully managed, using a sustainable approach with minimal vineyard sprays, maintaining an open canopy with good light and airflow, leaf plucking, fruit and shoot thinning and selection.

Winery | Neal and Judy Ibbotson pioneered the Marlborough wine industry, first planting vineyards in the valley in 1978 and then establishing the Saint Clair Family Estate in 1994. They own 160 hectares of vineyard in 10 different Marlborough locations chosen specifically for their individual "terroir" attributes and ability to produce top-quality grapes. Neal Ibbotson combines his extensive expertise in viticulture with the talent of one of New Zealand's leading winemaking teams. The vines are sustainably cultivated, and the estate holds the Sustainable Wines of New Zealand certification. Since 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. This sentiment is shared by Bob Campbell MW, who says, “Saint Clair now makes the country’s and perhaps the world’s best Sauvignon Blanc”. |
