Neal and Judy Ibbotson, owners of St Clair, are viticulture pioneers in Marlborough, New Zealand. It was in 1978 that Judy planted her first vineyard, with the assistance of three preschoolers and a group of ladies, which was one of the first vineyards within the Marlborough region.

Since then Neal and Judy have understood a great deal about viticulture and recognise the true importance of understanding the process involved in winemaking from start to the final product.
