Saint Clair 'Omaka' Reserve Chardonnay 2023 750ml

Rich, textural and complex with savoury notes of spice and toasty oak.

Sourced primarily from Saint Clair’s vineyards in Marlborough’s Omaka valley where a combination of warm days, cool nights and clay based soils contribute to greater retention of fruit flavours. The fruit is a blend of Chardonnay clones, predominantly Mendoza and Burgundian Clone 95. The vines were monitored carefully during ripening and hand harvested at optimum flavour maturity and physiological ripeness.

Pale Straw colour.

Concentrated aromas of spice, toasted cedar and savoury notes with a hint of vanilla.

Generous and rich with a luxurious mouthfeel. The palate has a complex array of flavours with savoury notes, ripe peach, preserved lemon and a toasty finish.

• The perfect accompaniment for succulent roast chicken with lemon and garlic.
• Drinking beautifully now, this wine will continue to evolve and reward over the next five to ten years with careful cellaring.
