Kim Crawford Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Kim Crawford Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a benchmark expression of the region, harvested in March and April 2025 after a season of favourable weather, strong flowering and excellent fruit concentration. The nose bursts with fresh tropical aromas of passionfruit, rockmelon, stonefruit and guava, layered with zesty grapefruit, subtle florals and a hint of fresh tomato leaf. The palate delivers balanced concentration with zesty, moreish acidity and a lingering, refreshing finish, echoing the nose's tropical fruit, citrus and herbal notes. Vibrant and expressive, it captures the classic Marlborough style Kim Crawford has built its reputation on, and pairs beautifully with fresh seafood or grilled vegetables.

What the winery says:

Kim Crawford describes its Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc as one of the region's benchmark examples of the variety, having been named to the Wine Spectator Top 100 four times through a focus on sustainable practices, individual vineyard block harvesting and small lot fermentation. The 2025 vintage was picked between 10 March and 6 April following a strong December flowering and warm, dry ripening conditions that produced fruit with excellent concentration and balance. Machine harvested at peak maturity and gently pressed, the juice was fermented in stainless steel at low temperature to capture Marlborough sauvignon blanc's vibrant, aromatic character, then racked and carefully managed through to bottling to preserve freshness.
