Whalebone Bay is a line of Saint Clair wines, the grapes for which are grown in the area of the same name off the coast of Port Underwood in Marlborough. The region got its name due to the fact that the coastal zone here is dotted with the remains of ancient whale bones (translated from English “whalebone bay” – “whalebone bay”). Until the middle of the 19th century, whaling was in full swing here.
St. Clair Family Estate was founded in 1978 by spouses Neil and Judy Ibbotson. At first, the couple sold grapes to local wine companies, and in 1994 they launched the production of their own wine. The debut was extremely successful – their wines have won many awards, among which were Gold medals. Since then, the name Saint Clair has stood for excellent quality, and the products have consistently won the highest awards at international competitions, including the prestigious Air New Zealand Wine Awards.
The professionals who work here play a huge role in the company’s success and excellent reputation. These are, of course, members of the Ibbotson family, who design, promote and market Saint Clair wines. And the chief winemaker is Matt Thomson, who has been with the company since 1994 and has experience in creating Italian and French wines.
In 2008 in London, Matt Thomson was named “Winemaker of the Year” at the London International Wine Challenge. In 2005, St. Clair winery was named New Zealand Winery of the Year at the International Wine and Spirit Competition. St. Clair Family Estate products are sold in 35 countries around the world.
