Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc

Kim Crawford is one of New Zealand’s most exciting and innovative wine producers. The winery started out in a small cottage in Auckland, New Zealand, and since launching in 1996, the label has gained critical acclaim around the globe. Kim Crawford does things unconventionally, takes risks, starts things, and welcomes ‘different.’ Their philosophy on making good wine is simple: focus on flavor. Master winemaker Anthony Walkenhorst describes himself as the “guardian of flavor,” crafting wines that are vibrant, authentic, and crisp. Influenced by New Zealand’s unique natural beauty, Anthony uses it to inspire wines with robust, fruit-driven flavors that accentuate a gentle and natural character. Ultimately, Anthony aims to let the original flavor of the grapes shine through in every glass of Kim Crawford. He continues to carry the torch, crafting bold, unique, and vibrant wines that ensure Kim Crawford’s exceptional style is present in every bottle. The vineyards of Kim Crawford are located in outstanding, predominantly coastal sites. The grapes benefit from long days, clean sea breezes, and crisp nights. In combination with New Zealand’s long and dry autumn season, the grapes ripen slowly, allowing them to build flavor intensity as well as develop a sophisticated acidity. In the end, it is this unique combination of factors — from regions and soils, to temperatures and growth rates — that give Kim Crawford a perfect balance of fruit and acidity. This ideal pairing of elements makes Kim Crawford more than just the perfect wine to complement foods and occasions — it makes it the perfect wine to complement one of the most stunning regions the world has ever known.
