Claire Rogers - All about wine Every week I have the unenviable task of sampling a wine with a wine representative in order to bring you a cross section of wine to suit all prices and tastes in an easily digestible format (a tough assignment, I know).

Saint Clair winery's processes of making classically fruity sauvignon blanc; not to mention the final product, are like an art form.
The Vicar's Choice Sauvignon Blanc is certainly no exception. This delicious wine has crisp fruit flavours of passionfruit, grapefruit and gooseberry.

It features a pleasing mineral note leading through to a long lingering finish.
The fruit for this wine was sourced from several vineyards with different sub regions throughout Marlborough with the most significant portion coming from the prestigious lower Wairau area. This area is renowned for its concentration of aromas and fruit, with the balance coming from the classic Rapaura area. The fruit was carefully monitored throughout maturity and harvested once it had reached optimum flavour development and ripeness. The fruit was then transported to the winery and pressed off with minimal skin contact. The resulting juice was cool fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness and zing.
The comment from the other half of my tasting panel (Brian), whose preference is sauvignon blanc, gave this wine a definite high rating. He describes it as leaping out of the glass. It is also a very good price.
It would match very well with any seafood or chicken dish. There is nothing easier and quicker, plus also extremely healthy than a fillet of fresh fish lightly pan fried, accompanied by your favourite vegetables. Enjoy!
The Weekend Sun has a bottle of Saint Clair Vicar's Choice Sauvignon Blanc to give away to lucky readers who can tell us which three fruit flavours are present.
