Omaka Reserve is one of NZ's few Chardonnay's were the oak comes courtesy of the yanks rather than frogs.
Think spiced apples, peaches, buttered scones and popcorn perfect on Sunday with your mum's chicken roast.
Saint Clair's ultimate Chardonnay. Never ones to shy away from a bit of out-of-the-ordinary Saint Clair's Omaka Reserve is one of few NZ Chardonnays that handle the American Oak jandle. Omaka Reserve keeps it together with the big toasty vanilla flavours that the yank barrels throw out. Saint Clair pulls most of the grapes for this wine from Omaka Valley before fermenting and ageing in a combo of new and old American Oak over a period of 10 months. The wine is softened by malolactic fermenation releasing mouth filling creaminess. As the rest of the taste characters think spiced apples, peaches, buttered scones and popcorn! Just perfect on Sunday with your mum's chicken roast, or on Saturday with crispy buffalo wings.
