Kim Crawford

Kim Crawford Marlborough Pinot Noir

These grapes are from various vineyards in the Marlborough region. There are a wide variety of clones and rootstock, along with a mixture of soils and micro-climates. The grapes were all machine harvested.
   
Cold soaked for four days the wine was then inoculated with a pure yeast strain. Once dry it was pressed off skin to tank and a portion of the blend went into oak barrels. All of the wine went through malolactic fermentation.

FOOD AND WINE PAIRING
Ideal with lamb or pork chops. Suited to most rest meats and not bad as a wine to enjoy all on its own.

Country: New Zealand
Region: Marlborough
Sizes available: 750ml.







Kim Crawford Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

These grapes were selected from a number of vineyards throughout the Marlborough region. The cool conditions during flowering which resulted in lighter than average yields were followed by ideal ripening and flavor development conditions for the remainder of the growing season. Individual blocks were targeted for their strengths and overall contribution to the blend.
   
The grapes were harvested in the cool of the evening and overnight to preserve flavors. Each block was kept separate throughout the various stages of the winemaking process. Fermentations were carried out at cool temperatures and when all tanks had completed ferment they were proportionately blended, fined, stabilized and bottled

Good to drink with anyone at anytime. Ideally suited to asparagus, oysters and summer salads.
