Kono Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Distinctly Marlborough, this delightfully crisp and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc is packed with juicy ripe fruit and a touch of natural acidity, leading to a pure and focused dry finish.

Machine harvested grapes are transported to our winery located in Marlborough’s Awatere Valley. Once at the winery the grapes are pressed in modern membrane presses, with both the free-run and harder pressings combined in stainless steel tanks then chilled and settled until clear. The juice is then racked and warmed before being inoculated with selected yeast cultures. The ferments are controlled through temperature manipulation and stopped with just a very small amount of residual sweetness. Blending occurs in early June, after which the resulting wine is stabilised and filtered without the need for fining, ready for bottling in early July.

Settled in stainless steel tanks to retain the ultimate freshness in this vibrant wine
