Winemaker Note

Kim Crawford produces one of Marlborough’s benchmark Sauvignon Blancs. Our most recent vintage was named “New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc of the Year” by the New York International Wine Competition. A perennial favorite enjoyed by the glass in restaurants, it has also been named in the “2019 Wine & Spirits Restaurant Top 10” Sauvignon Blanc category. The secret to Kim Crawford’s success is serious attention to detail in the vineyards and winery, with a special focus on sustainable practices, individual vineyard block harvesting, and small lot fermentation.
