Hancocks Family Merchants Limited has announced an important update regarding the distribution of Saint Clair Family Estate in New Zealand.
Following constructive discussions with Saint Clair Family Estate, Hancocks will officially assume national distribution of the brand from 1 February 2027.
Hancocks has represented Lake Chalice since 2004, and the addition of Saint Clair Family Estate unites two distinct Ibbotson family-owned brands together under one distributor for the first time in New Zealand.
Saint Clair – one of the country’s most awarded and globally recognised wine producers – continues to demonstrate strong performance across both retail and on-premise channels.
“Saint Clair is an iconic New Zealand wine brand with an exceptional reputation for quality and innovation,” says Joe Jakicevich, Owner / Managing Director of Hancocks.
“Bringing Saint Clair and Lake Chalice together within the Hancocks portfolio strengthens our ability to support both brands and deliver even greater value to our customers.”
The Hancocks team will share further details on ordering, pricing, and activation plans closer to the transition date.
