Vineyard and Winemaking

Sourced from the Omaka Valley – A Unique Marlborough Terroir

The name Omaka means “place of the stream” in Maori, and the region’s clay-based soils, cool nights and warm days create the perfect environment for ripening Chardonnay with balance and freshness. Grapes were carefully selected from Saint Clair’s own estate vineyards, predominantly Mendoza and Clone 95.

Artisan Winemaking

Grapes were hand-picked, lightly whole-bunch pressed and fermented in 100% American oak barrels (50% new). A full malolactic fermentation and 10 months of lees ageing with stirring imparted creaminess and depth. Only the finest barrels were blended for this vintage.


Tasting Notes

Rich, Textured, and Elegant

Expect a silky, full-bodied palate with flavours of:

  • Ripe charred stone fruits

  • Vanilla and pineapple

  • Toasty cinnamon and smoky oak

The finish is long, smooth, and complex, showcasing Saint Clair’s hallmark elegance and balance.


Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Roast chicken or turkey with herb butter

  • Creamy seafood linguine

  • Grilled salmon or halibut

  • Brie, Camembert, or mature cheddar

Omaka, in Maori, means the 'place of the stream'. The grapes were sourced primarily from Saint Clair vineyards in Marlborough Omaka Valley, where a combination of warm days, cool nights, and clay-based soils contribute to greater fruit flavour retention. The fruit blends 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.
