Saint Clair Omaka Reserve Chardonnay 2022

Rich and complex with flavours of stone fruit, citrus and charred oak.

Colour: Pale straw. Aroma: Perfumed aromas of charred oak, white peach and citrus with a hint of warm spice. Palate: Generous and rich with a creamy and textural mouthfeel. Flavours of white fleshy stonefruit and meringue combine with citrus notes and a hint of spice on the lingering finish.

Ageing Potential: Drinking beautifully now, this wine will continue to evolve and reward over the next five to ten years with careful cellaring.

Viticulture: 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.

Wine Analysis: Alcohol 13%

Food Match: The perfect accompaniment for succulent roast chicken with lemon and garlic.
