Kim Crawford Wines was established in late 1996, when Kim
launched a range made from fruit grown in the South Island. Kim
sold the company to Constellation in 2005 and has since handed
the winemaking reins over to the Constellation winemaking team.
Despite Kim no longer being involved with these wines, the current
winemakers continue the classic Kim Crawford philosophy and
style. Control over grape supply has always been essential for Kim
Crawford Wines and they now have the largest vineyard resource
in Marlborough of any wine company, across the greatest
breadth of sub-regions, ensuring consistent quality and style. For
that consistency, and success over the past 20 years, Wine
Enthusiast magazine USA recognised Kim Crawford as their “New
World Winery of the Year 2016”.

This Sauvignon Blanc is pale straw with lemon hues. Lifted aromas
of passion fruit and guava dominate the nose, along with notes of
citrus and crushed herbs and an underlying wet stone minerality.
The wine has vibrant acidity, with plenty of palate weight and
length. Ripe, tropical fruit flavours of passion fruit, melon and
grapefruit linger on the persistent finish.
