Topchardonnay fra Saint Clairs egne marker i Omaka Valley. Vinen er lagret 10 mdr. på amerikansk eg, hvoraf ca. 50 % af fadene er nye. Den endelige udvælgelse af, hvilke fade, der skal indgå i den færdige vin, foretages først når fadlagringen er ovre.
Omaka Reserve har en intens duft af fersken, mango, ristet brød og vanilie. Smagen er fyldig, men med et fast, forfriskende syrebid og en lang eftersmag.
Passer godt til fisk, skaldyr eller fjerkræ på grill og de samme råvarer med cremede saucer. Passer også godt til fyldigt smagende komælksoste.

Kåret til "Best New Zealand Producer of the Year" ved International Wine Challenge 2016. Vinmageren Matt Thompson er kåret til "International White Wine Maker of the Year" ved International Wine Challenge i London 2009. Neal Ibbotson fra Saint Clair fremhæver især Marlboroughs meget langsomme, konstante modningsprocess, der giver druerne tid til at opbygge smagselementer frem til høst, som et kvalitetsparameter – der er ikke noget, der bliver forceret frem!
Temperaturen i modningsperioden vil typisk ligge på ca. 20° om dagen og ned til 2–3° om natten. Det er kølig-klima v...

This marries very ripe melon and peaches with super fresh and bold, oak aromas and delivers a richly flavorsome style with sweet, spiced peaches holding long.

Echoing the praise that other judges had for this Gold medal-winning Chardonnay, team leader Sam Caporn MW found ‘sappy oak on the nose and palate, some interesting back notes and wood phenols on the finish’, while Fenwick’s James Franklin indulged in its ‘beautifully maturing nose, hints of warm butter, white spice and vanilla sweetness, with additional layers of apple and pear fruit and even mango acidity’. ‘A gastronomic wine,’

The 2016 Omaka Reserve Chardonnay has a very refined bouquet of subtle acacia honey, white peach and orange pith notes, all beautifully defined. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry, offering notes of mango, marmalade and passion fruit with a slight salinity underneath and a long, caressing, ample finish. Excellent.

An all-guns-blazing, complex style that has had all the trimmings of barrel fermentation and toasty oak thrown its way. Plenty of butterscotch and toasted peaches. The palate has a smooth and creamy edge with a nutty,...
An all-guns-blazing, complex style that has had all the trimmings of barrel fermentation and toasty oak thrown its way. Plenty of butterscotch and toasted peaches. The palate has a smooth and creamy edge with a nutty, buttery finish that’s held in play by some handy acidity.
