Neal and Judy have been pioneering viticulture in Marlborough since 1978. The grapes from their vineyards were originally supplied to local wineries, but they also wanted to show the quality achieved in their vineyards to the finished wine. This desire led to the creation of the St Clair Family Estate in 1994.
The Sinclair family initially settled the property on which this vineyard is located. The pioneer James Sinclair built one of the first houses in Blenheim and was closely associated with the town's early development.
Over time, the property's name reverted to the original Saint Clair.
The company's mission is to create world-class wines that exceed our customers' expectations. As a result, Neal puts his extensive experience in viticulture, the unique combination of Marlborough's climate and soils, and the talents of one of New Zealand's leading winemaking teams to achieve this mission.
