Kim Crawford Illuminate Sauvignon Blanc 2022 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 90/100

Kim Crawford Illuminate Sauvignon Blanc is a bright and expressive white that bursts with lifted aromas of passionfruit, gooseberry and citrus zest, followed by hints of tropical lime and fresh herbs. The palate is medium-bodied, dry and crisp, with vibrant acidity and juicy fruit driving a clean, refreshing finish at 13% alcohol. Serve it well-chilled to let its pure fruit and zesty energy shine. Fascinating fact: The Illuminate series focuses on capturing fruit at optimal ripeness from select Marlborough vineyards, giving this Sauvignon Blanc an inviting intensity without losing the region’s signature freshness. Pair it with citrus-marinated grilled shrimp, where the wine’s zingy acidity enhances the seafood’s sweetness. Or enjoy it with a fresh garden salad topped with goat cheese, letting its crisp lift balance creamy and peppery flavours.
