Kim Crawford Illuminate Sauvignon Blanc (75cl, 7%)

Kim Crawford Illuminate Sauvignon Blanc is a lower-alcohol Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. It is bottled at 7% ABV in a 750ml format and uses Spinning Cone technology, with about 60% of the finished wine reduced below 1% alcohol before blending with 40% full-strength base wine. The wine shows passion fruit, guava, lime blossom and peach aromas, with green herbal tones beneath. The palate is crisp and tart, led by lime and mango with gardenia-like floral character, bright acidity and an elegant rather than thin texture. The finish is refreshing, with herbal and citrus notes and a squeeze of grapefruit.
