From 1994 when wines from the first vintage all won medals including gold, the name Saint Clair has been synonymous with quality & its award-winning record continues today. Top International accolades include the trophy to Saint Clair/ Matt Thomson for White Winemaker of the Year at the London International Wine Challenge, September 2008 & the coveted trophy for Best New Zealand Wine Producer of the Year at the International Wine & Spirit Competition 2005. Saint Clair Family Estate also has the distinction of being the first New Zealand wine company to win major international trophies for Sauvignon Blanc & Pinot Noir in the same year. A full & crisp, powerful wine with intense aromas & flavours of passion fruit, blackcurrant, underlying gooseberry & herbal tones. Mouth-watering acidity is balanced by a full yet elegant palate that leads to a long lingering finish. An ideal wine with fresh seafood or white meat.
