New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc has captured the international spotlight with its arrestingly pure, lovely and assertive character. Largely pasture land a mere two decades ago, the land along the Wairau River is now emphatically wine country. This is the famed Marlborough district - the source of these stellar Sauvignons. 2007 was a fabulous harvest in Marlborough and the wines have a beautiful balance of intensity and refreshment. If you need more convincing, just try a glass of the 2007 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough.

This vibrant white shows off exhilaratingly pure flavors. Characterized by scents of passion fruit, gooseberry and red grapefruit, and interlaced with delicate hints of grass and smoke, the wine's vibrant core of fruit and intriguing complexity are enchanting. The captivating fragrance and crisp beauty of the fruit carries into a lingering, clean, dry finish. The 2007 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc pairs up nicely with a wide range of rich seafood dishes, but particularly well with shellfish. The sheer purity and vibrancy of the fruit will leave a lasting impression. You won't believe the high quality of the Kiwi Sauvignons until you taste one. It's pure drinking pleasure!
