ANNOUNCING NEW ZEALAND’S NUMBER ONE WINERY!
ANNOUNCING NEW ZEALAND’S NUMBER ONE WINERY!
Saint
Clair ranked internationally as New Zealand’s top winery
Saint Clair has consolidated its rising reputation as New Zealand’s premier winery by topping the list of the New Zealand wine producers in the list of the world’s best 100 wineries.
The
prestigious list, compiled by the World Association Wine and
Spirit Writers and Journalists, placed Saint Clair at an
astonishing number 62 internationally, extraordinary status
for the New Zealand winery. This remarkable ranking is
especially impressive when you consider that no other New
Zealand winery made a mention in the top 100.
Saint
Clair has long been regarded as producing some of New
Zealand’s finest wines and this latest recognition
supports previous top International accolades including the
trophy to Saint Clair/Matt Thomson for White Winemaker of
the Year at the London International Wine Challenge,
September 2008 and the coveted trophy for Best New
Zealand Wine Producer of the Year at the International
Wine and Spirit Competition 2005.
This latest ranking,
based on results from across 150 international competitions,
is indicative not only of Saint Clair’s consistency in
winning awards on a worldwide stage but also the viticulture
expertise of the Saint Clair wine making team. It is this
exceptional skill and the adherence to a philosophy of
providing premium quality wine at a range of price points,
which has seen the winery achieve such sensational success
since its inception in 1994.
Despite Saint Clair’s
remarkable record, owner and viticulture pioneer Neal
Ibbotson remains humble in the face of his latest, and
perhaps greatest, success. He comments: “We are all simply
delighted with this accolade – it is truly a testament to
the continued commitment to quality and enduring dedication
of our wonderful wine making team. We could not do it
without them!”
Whatever it is, the family owned and
operated winery - which embraces a family oriented approach
in all aspects of its business - certainly have the right
recipe for world class winning
wines!
