Clayfork Vineyard Waihopai Ridge Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc (2009)

From Endeavour (owner of Catalina Sounds, Crowded House and Nanny Goat), the 2009 vintage (4*) is a single-vineyard wine, 15 per cent barrel-fermented. Mouthfilling, it is fresh and vibrant, with ripe melon/lime flavours in a quietly classy, minerally style with sweet-fruit characters, a subtle oak influence and tight structure.
