Saint Clair red winemaker Kyle Thompson, comments; “Pinot Noir is a challenging varietal but at Saint Clair a solid team approach from the vineyard, through to the winemaking and into the bottle, ensures the best possible result with wines of excellence. It is a thrill to have our winery recognised for consistency in quality and acknowledged for the effort the entire team contributes.”
The continual run of show success is a tremendous achievement for the family owned Marlborough winery, now firmly established as a leading New Zealand wine producer producing excellent wines for consumers around the globe.
