Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer are the latest grapes that Hamish Clark has been getting hands-on with. These, in addition to Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Merlot, occupy his time at Saint Clair, one of New Zealand’s largest family-managed labels. It’s this Kiwi’s first time in Singapore, where he hopes to extend the reach of the boutique winery.
Clark has worked at Saint Clair since 2001, a 14-year run, in which he rose up the ranks from cellar hand and lab manager to helming the 2006 vintage as senior winemaker, which was also the year when a new state-of-the-art winery was inaugurated. He works together with chief consultant and flying winemaker Matt Thomson, who has been instrumental since the label’s inception in 1994.
