2025 International Wine Challenge 94 Points
“Fragrant and upfront lemon, pear and blossom. Youthful appeal, juicy and inviting.”
Colour:
Pale straw.
Aroma:
Concentrated aromas of spice, toasted
cedar and savoury notes with a hint
of vanilla.
Palate:
Generous and rich with a luxurious
mouthfeel. The palate has a complex
array of flavours with savoury notes,
ripe peach, preserved lemon and a
toasty finish.
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 Clair’s
vineyards in Marlborough’s 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.
Winemaker
Stewart Maclennan
Winemaking:
The fruit was lightly whole bunch
pressed and the juice fermented in a
mixture of American and French oak
barrels, seventeen per cent of which
were new, using selected yeast strains.
The wine underwent malolactic
fermentation, followed by nine months
aging on yeast lees with regular stirring.
Only the very best barrels were selected
for the Omaka Reserve Chardonnay.

Alcohol 13% v/v
Residual sugar 2.36g/L
Acidity 5.8g/litre

Food Match:
