Description
Kim Crawford is one of New Zealand’s most exciting and innovative wine producers. The winery started out in a small cottage in Auckland, New Zealand and since its launch in 1996, the label has gained critical acclaim around the globe.
The vineyards of Kim Crawford are located in outstanding, predominantly coastal sites. The grapes benefit from long days, clean sea breezes and crisp nights. In combination with New Zealand’s long and dry autumn season, our grapes ripen slowly, which allows them to build flavor intensity as well as develop a sophisticated acidity. In the end, it is this unique combination of factors–from regions and soils, to temperatures and growth rates–that give Kim Crawford a perfect balance of fruit and acidity. This ideal pairing of elements makes Kim Crawford more than just the perfect wine to compliment foods and occasions–it makes it the perfect wine to compliment one of the most stunning regions the world has ever known.
Lifted red berry fruit aromas with dark cherry notes, complemented by savory undertones and spicy oak. Ripe, dark berry flavors of blackberry and black currant. Subtle hints of oak help fill out the palate. Ideal with herb-crusted racks of lamb, mushroom risotto, or all on its own!

Great PN, light but full bodied. This is a flavourful wine and good value.
