Saint Clair Omaka Reserve Marlborough Chardonnay 2023 $42
One of my favourite chardonnay releases of the year, the Omaka Reserve is fermented entirely in American Oak and held on lees for at least 9 months to inject maximum creamy character into a bold and expressive wine. The grilled grapefruit and roasted peach notes really roar with every swirl and sniff. They osmose directly onto the palate and push through to the finish in punchy fashion. It’s a juicy, generously bold, freshly textured wine that I’m pretty much obsessed with.
