Kono Sauvignon Blanc

WINE SPECTATOR: Six times voted in to the Top 100 Best Value Wines of the Year  in Wine Spectator  

Description:
In the heart of New Zealand’s picturesque Marlborough region lies a remarkable story—a tale of heritage, passion, and the pursuit of excellence. Welcome to Kono Wines, a Māori-owned, family-run business that weaves together tradition, innovation, and the vibrant flavours of the land. Centuries ago, our ancestors were providores trading the bounty of their gardens and forests across the rugged landscape of Te Tauihu. Fast-forward to the 21st century. As the world discovered the zesty allure of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, we saw an opportunity—a chance to blend tradition with modernity. In 2006, our first bottle of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc emerged from our vineyards. Since then, our commitment to quality has never wavered. Today, we produce over 1.5 million bottles of our award-winning Sauvignon Blanc.

Rated a Best Value Wine in Wine Spectator eight times, Kono Sauvignon Blanc is a true expression of the stunning Marlborough region. 

Tasting Notes:
A brilliant pale green in the glass, this is pure classic, Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with a vibrant fruit driven nose bursting with citrus fruits and passion fruit. On the palate luscious fruit flavours of ripe tropical fruits and lifted herbaceous notes are finely balanced with zesty acidity, an underlying minerality. Juicy, crisp and fresh this wine leads to a long and dry, persistent finish.
