Product Notes

Saint Clair Godfrey's Creek Noble Riesling is an exquisite wine that showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of Saint Clair Family Estate. This unique and enchanting Riesling displays the perfect harmony between sweetness and acidity. With its vibrant pale golden hue, it entices the senses with enticing aromas of orange blossom, honeyed apricot, and hints of pineapple. On the palate, layers of luscious flavors unfold, including ripe peaches, citrus zest, and subtle floral notes. The sweetness is impeccably balanced by a crisp, refreshing acidity that adds liveliness and length to the finish. This wine is an ideal companion to a variety of desserts, as well as being a delightful indulgence on its own.

Tasting Notes

A deliciously complex dessert wine, with a bouquet of clover honey, cinnamon and beeswax. Luscious and silky on the palate with rich orange, apricot and cocoa notes leading to a long, smooth finish.

About the Winery

Saint Clair

The Saint Clair Family Estate was established in 1994 by Neal and Judy Ibbotson, in Blenheim, New Zealand. Neal and Judy were viticultural experts already when they started this label. They had learnt the art of winemaking and its techniques from the premium most wine region of New Zealand, Marlborough. Within a few years, this brand has grown tremendously. Today, the group’s Sauvignon Blanc wine is considered as the best in entire New Zealand.

The fruits for Saint Clair wines are grown in some of the select vineyards in the Marlborough region. These include:

Doctor’s Creek Vineyard – Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Noir are grown on the clayey soils here.

Awatere Valley Vineyard – Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay are grown here in plenty, thanks to the sandstone and mineral-rich soils.

Rapaura Vineyard – The alluvial soil here is ideal for growing flavourful Merlot varietals.

Omaka Vineyard – The warm days and cool nights, along with the clayey soils, help to grow the Mendoza Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varietals here.

Ben Morven Vineyard – The gravel-covered clayey soils contains vines grown on the slopes. Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir are grown here in plenty.

Vineyard Kitchen Block – The stone and sand alluvium soil of this place makes it ideal for growing Clone 95 Chardonnay and Clone 5 Pinot Noir varietals.

Strip Block Vineyard – Known for its clayey soils, the Pinot Noir grown here is known as one of the best in the Marlborough region.

Plateau Vineyard – Located in one of the most popular wine regions of the world, Hawke’s Bay, this vineyard is way warmer than the Marlborough vineyards.

Therefore, it is ideal for growing concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Viognier and Malbec. Today, the children of Neal and Judy take care of the packaging, sales, marketing and other promotional activities to ensure that the legacy is carried forward with the same passion as before.
