Omaka Reserve is one of NZ's few Chardonnay's were the oak comes courtesy of the yanks rather than frogs.
Think spiced apples, peaches, buttered scones and popcorn perfect on Sunday with your mum's chicken roast.
Saint Clair's ultimate Chardonnay. Never ones to shy away from a bit of out-of-the-ordinary Saint Clair's Omaka Reserve is one of few NZ Chardonnays that handle the American Oak jandle. Omaka Reserve keeps it together with the big toasty vanilla flavours that the yank barrels throw out. Saint Clair pulls most of the grapes for this wine from Omaka Valley before fermenting and ageing in a combo of new and old American Oak over a period of 10 months. The wine is softened by malolactic fermenation releasing mouth filling creaminess. As the rest of the taste characters think spiced apples, peaches, buttered scones and popcorn! Just perfect on Sunday with your mum's chicken roast, or on Saturday with crispy buffalo wings.
43o is one of the most awarded single vineyard wines in the country!
Pretty clever planting from the St Clair team delivers a sensational Sauvignon of two halves - tropical fruit on one side coupled with grassy crushed herbs on the other.
Match its award winning twin characters with shellfish or fresh vegetable dishes.
