Kim Crawford Illuminate Sauvignon Blanc
New Zealand White Wine | 7% ABV | 750 mL
Process & Profile
Illuminate is crafted in Marlborough with individually harvested blocks that are gently pressed and cold-soaked before fermentation. About 60% of the wine undergoes “spinning cone” distillation to reduce alcohol to nearly 1%, then is blended back to achieve a final alcohol content of 7% ABV, offering a lower-calorie, light wine without sacrificing flavor complexity.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Pale yellow.
Nose: Lifted aromatics of passionfruit, guava, citrus, and crushed herbal notes
Palate: Refreshingly crisp and full-flavored, with tropical fruit (passionfruit, guava, grapefruit), vibrant acidity, and a herbal-citrus finish
