Saint Clair Estate Wines is owned by Neal and Judy Ibbotson, who have been growing grapes in the Marlborough region since 1978. Saint Clair Estate Wines’ first vintage was made in 1994 and all wines in it were awarded gold medals. In the time since, the name Saint Clair has become synonymous with quality and its award-winning record continues today. International accolades include the coveted trophy for Best New Zealand Wine Producer of the Year at the International Wine and Spirit Competition 2005. Saint Clair Estate Wines produce a wide range of varieties, including Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir and Merlot, available in four ranges of wines – the Reserve Range, Pioneer Block, the Premium Marlborough Range and Vicar’s Choice.
