Product Notes

Saint Clair Omaka Reserve Pinot Noir is an exquisite red wine that showcases the best of Marlborough, New Zealand. Crafted from carefully selected grapes grown in the prestigious Omaka Valley vineyard, this wine exudes elegance and finesse. The nose reveals enticing aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, the wine delivers a seamless blend of red fruit flavors, such as raspberry and plum, complemented by hints of spice and earthiness. With its medium body and silky tannins, the Saint Clair Omaka Reserve Pinot Noir offers a smooth and lingering finish. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled salmon, roasted duck, or cheese platters, making it a true delight for wine enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes

Concentrated flavours of black cherry, blackcurrant, Kalamata olive, and perfumed wild flowers, lead to an elegant palate with a structure reminiscent of finely powdered cocoa. The finish is long incorporating freshly roasted coffee beans, toasty oak and spice.

About the Winery

Saint Clair

The Saint Clair Family Estate was established in 1994 by Neal and Judy Ibbotson, in Blenheim, New Zealand. Neal and Judy were viticultural experts already when they started this label. They had learnt the art of winemaking and its techniques from the premium most wine region of New Zealand, Marlborough. Within a few years, this brand has grown tremendously. Today, the group’s Sauvignon Blanc wine is considered as the best in entire New Zealand.

The fruits for Saint Clair wines are grown in some of the select vineyards in the Marlborough region. These include:

Doctor’s Creek Vineyard – Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Noir are grown on the clayey soils here.

Awatere Valley Vineyard – Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay are grown here in plenty, thanks to the sandstone and mineral-rich soils.

Rapaura Vineyard – The alluvial soil here is ideal for growing flavourful Merlot varietals.

Omaka Vineyard – The warm days and cool nights, along with the clayey soils, help to grow the Mendoza Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varietals here.

Ben Morven Vineyard – The gravel-covered clayey soils contains vines grown on the slopes. Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir are grown here in plenty.

Vineyard Kitchen Block – The stone and sand alluvium soil of this place makes it ideal for growing Clone 95 Chardonnay and Clone 5 Pinot Noir varietals.

Strip Block Vineyard – Known for its clayey soils, the Pinot Noir grown here is known as one of the best in the Marlborough region.

Plateau Vineyard – Located in one of the most popular wine regions of the world, Hawke’s Bay, this vineyard is way warmer than the Marlborough vineyards.

Therefore, it is ideal for growing concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Viognier and Malbec. Today, the children of Neal and Judy take care of the packaging, sales, marketing and other promotional activities to ensure that the legacy is carried forward with the same passion as before.
