Neal and Judy Ibbotson were pioneers in the Marlborough wine industry, first planting vineyards in the valley in 1978 and then establishing Saint Clair Family Estate in 1994. They own 160 hectares of vineyard in 10 different Marlborough locations chosen specifically for the attributes of their individual "terroir" 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 led by Hamish Clark. 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 is a sentiment shared by Bob Campbell MW, who says “Saint Clair now makes the country’s and perhaps the world’s best Sauvignon Blanc”.

I'm really enjoying this wine. One that you could proudly offer in any company. Rich and beautifully balanced Shiraz without necessarily overwhelming the palate with that big Barossa fruit. I'll be sure to get more
Purchased some of the La Chaize Fleurie Beaujolais 2022. Delivery was on time and Brad called me to check I received the order. I had and shared my thoughts of the Beaujolais. He was very engaging and clearly new his wines. Happy to do business with people that take pride in what they offer.
