Saint Clair Family Estate Captivates UK Hospitality Market

A recent survey conducted by Wine Business Solutions studying on-premise wine in the UK has found Saint Clair Family Estate to be the second most-listed New Zealand wine brand in the UK market for 2010. Of the 4400 brands captured in the survey, Saint Clair is placed 11th overall in terms of most-listed table wine brands, and follows Cloudy Bay for New Zealand’s most-listed brand.

“The results are attributed to a very successful working relationship with our key UK distributor Hallgarten Druitt, one of the major wine merchants in the UK trade with an exceptional portfolio,” says Neal Ibbotson, Managing Director of Saint Clair Family Estate.

“Quality product combined with outstanding service has seen Hallgarten become three-time winners of the International Wine and Spirit Competition Importer of the Year Trophy. Saint Clair has been able to provide exceptional quality and competitively priced wine, but to achieve such a result in any market impeccable distribution is essential.”

Being the second most-listed New Zealand wine brand throughout on-premise in an incredibly competitive key international market is a major achievement for the family-owned Marlborough winery.
