Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc 2018 - An experience for the senses
The Evolution of the New Zealand Wine Industry
Unlike its neighbor Australia, New Zealand has only recently ramped up its wine production. Starting with a modest 400 hectares in the 1960s, the wine-growing area has now expanded to an impressive 32,000 hectares.
Kim Crawford - A pioneer in Marlborough
The Kim Crawford winery was founded in 1996 in the heart of the Marlborough region, an area that was already known as fertile ground for wine growing in the 1980s. In addition to its own production, Kim Crawford also maintains numerous partnerships with renowned winemakers on both the North and South Islands of New Zealand.
The Art of Winemaking
The harvest for Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc takes place every year in March, which is typical for the southern hemisphere. A careful selection of the best grapes from the Waihopai and Awatere vineyards ensures unparalleled quality. The fermentation process takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by a maturation phase of up to three years.
With its bright light yellow color and an aromatic composition of tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango, the Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc 2018 promises a true taste experience. A subtle hint of herbs sets interesting accents.
The taste experience
On the palate there is an exciting mixture of citrus fruits, specifically grapefruit and lime, as well as stone fruit. This play of aromas is supported by a refreshing acidity and mineral notes that are reminiscent of wet stone. The finish is fresh and slightly sour, which makes the wine an ideal accompaniment to a variety of dishes.
