Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc is naturally high in acidity and aromatic compounds, showing citrus, passion fruit, grass, and herb notes when grown in cool-to-moderate climates like Marlborough.
Free-draining river gravels and stony alluvial soils help control vigor and preserve freshness. Stainless steel fermentation at cool temperatures protects the grape's bright aromatics and crisp texture.
The nose is explosive and fresh, with passion fruit, grapefruit, lime, gooseberry, fresh herbs, and a grassy edge.
Kim Crawford is one of the best-known New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc labels in the U.S. market and a gateway bottle for Marlborough's style.
