Neal and Judy
Ibbotson were pioneers in the Marlborough wine industry, first planting
vineyards in the valley in 1978 and then establishing Saint Clair Family Estate
in 1994.
They own 160 hectares of vineyard in 10 different Marlborough
locations chosen specifically for the attributes of their individual
"terroir" and ability to produce top quality grapes.
Neal Ibbotson
combines his extensive expertise in viticulture with the talent of one of New
Zealand's leading winemaking teams led by Hamish Clark. Since 1994, when wines
from the first vintage all won medals including gold, the name Saint Clair has
been synonymous with quality and its award-winning record continues today.
This
is a sentiment shared by Bob Campbell MW, who says "Saint Clair now makes
the country's and perhaps the world's best Sauvignon Blanc".
