Description

Kim Crawford Illuminate Sauvignon Blanc

Grapes were individually harvested from our vineyard blocks in subregions throughout Marlborough and destemmed in the field before being gently pressed and fermented. To retain the character of each subregion and block and use them to the best advantage, each block was handled individually to capture the special characteristics of the vineyard parcel.

‘Spinning Cone’ technology is used to reduce the alcohol from a portion of the base wine. This is a process of low vacuum distillation that can target removal of alcohol without impacting the aroma of the wine. The alcohol is reduced to below 1% on approximately 60% of the final volume, with 40% of the base blended back to achieve a final alcohol level of 7%.

Kim Crawford Illuminate Sauvignon Blanc features a pale yellow straw color with aromas of passion fruit and guava, with some citrus notes. The palate is elegant, full flavored with crisp acidity. The finish is zesty with lingering notes of herbs and citrus.
