Saint Clair now makes the country’s and perhaps the world’s best
Sauvignon Blanc. Saint Clair has won more top awards for Sauvignon
Blanc in recent years than any of the three or four hundred other local
producers. Although Sauvignon Blanc is clearly Saint Clair’s
signature wine it has also earned trophies for Chardonnay, Merlot,
Pinot Noir, and Riesling over the same period.’

Riesling
Saint Clair a number of styles of Riesling. Saint Clair's Noble Harvest Riesling is made from botrytised Riesling. This wine is only made in vintages when the season provides for extra hanging time and therefore growth in the botrytis infection of the fruit.
Under the Pioneer Block label there is a Germanic Spätlese style Riesling where the natural residual sugar is balanced by firm acidity creating an off-dry impression.
The Premium Range Riesling is made in a slightly off-dry style with wide appeal to a large following of Riesling lovers.
The Vicar’s Choice Riesling is light-bodied and show distinct Riesling characters of citrus, limes and grapefruit.
