Kim Crawford Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

Kim and Erica Crawford started this label in 1996, and it became one of the best-known New Zealand whites in America. Constellation Brands has owned it since 2005.

The wine is a blend from more than 200 parcels across Marlborough's valleys, including the Wairau, Awatere, Waihopai and Omaka. The blocks are harvested one by one and fermented cool in small lots with selected yeasts, which keeps the fruit bright. It's bottled under screw cap, and we carry both the 750ml and a handy 375ml half bottle.

The winery describes citrus, tropical fruit and crushed herbs on the nose, then a fresh, juicy palate of passion fruit, melon and grapefruit and a long finish.

Next to Oyster Bay, Kim Crawford is juicier and more tropical; for a crowd-pleasing pour at a party, buy Kim Crawford.

The winery suggests oysters, lobster, asparagus and summer salads. Serve it well chilled.
