Kono Sauvignon Blanc 2022

"Our 14th vintage of Sauvignon Blanc – previously awarded the World’s Best Sauvignon Blanc Trophy (IWSC Asia), and consistently awarded 90+ points, this wine is vibrant aromas of limes and ripe rockmelon with a hint of Feijoa. The palate is round and full with wonderfully balanced acidity and a moreish finish." —winemaker

"Spiced apple, kiwifruit, pineapple and stone fruits lead the charge here, which Is an amazingly Intense charge and is backed up by an equally intense minerality and smokiness. Wow!! Simply Wow!! Super intense and pithy attack which is rich, textured (as in the previous two years, dare I say phenolic), beautifully supple and dense. The "gin and tonic" character is replaced with a deep, rich yet subtle tropical fruit core tensioned by the most amazingly bright mouthwatering acidity. This acidity carries the wine to a long, textured finish that Is both bright and dense at the same time." —winemaker

"Fresh, zesty, juicy and full, this fruit-driven new world style wine will excite the senses without the racy overload. Tropical fruit with a fresh herbaceous character balanced with zesty passionfruit and a dry finish. A crisp refreshing wine that shows the true terroir characters of the soils and area it comes from." —winemaker

"The nose is expansive, complex and elegant. Guava, orange blossom and lime zest combine to give a lifted yet refined aromatic experience. The wine begins broadly in the palate, seeking all available tastebuds, and then expands further with notes of passionfruit, ripe pepper and candied lemon rind throughout the mouthfeel. Texturally, the wine is full-bodied, accompanied by sublime acidity that counterpoints the abundance of complex flavors." —winemaker

"The nose offers an intense “fruit basket” dominated by citrus scents with a note of blackcurrant bud. In the mouth, all is suppleness and elegance. The final spicy note emphasizes the freshness and the generous length of this Sauvignon." —winemaker

"Aromas of citrus zest, grapefruit, passionfruit and lemongrass. On the palate, ripe lemon and lime, green apple, and pineapple. Fresh, crisp and vibrant acidity." —winemaker

"Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc is fresh and juicy with ripe, tropical flavors of passion fruit, melon, and stone fruit. Each sip of wine reveals classic Marlborough Bauvignon Blanc aromas of lifted citrus, tropical fruit, and crushed herbs, along with vibrant acidity and plenty of weight and length on the palate." —winemaker

"Distinctly Marlborough, this Sauvignon Blanc presents lively aromatics of citrus, stone fruit and tropical fruits with a subtle hint of lemongrass. The palate is refined and elegant with a luscious core of passion fruit, lime zest, sea salt and minerality. The finish is dry with an invigorating zippy acidity." —winemaker

"Expressive aromatics of dark lime, lemongrass, fresh cut rocket and sweet bay leaf combine with a succulent ripe citrus palate." —winemaker

"Crisp and refreshing, expect vibrant tropical and citrus flavors and freshly cut herbs from this generous Giesen Sauvignon Blanc 2022." —winemaker
