Saint Clair Omaka Reserve Chardonnay 750ml

Aroma: Fragrant peach, popcorn and toasted hazelnut with smoky nuances.
Palate: Round and silky with nectarine, ripe grapefruit and biscuit notes.
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 ClairÕs vineyards in MarlboroughÕs 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.
