NZ Kono Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

The vineyards from which Kono sources its grapes are spread predominantly throughout the sub-regions of Marlborough. Each have their own unique micro climate and soil type, each with its own distinct flavour profile. The difference is the key to blending a truly authentic expression of the region’s terroir. The gift of knowledge and rich, unspoiled lands have created award winning wines over flowing with personality and purity.

Vibrant and crisp, Kono Sauvignon Blanc boasts the pure and intense flavours of a variety of Marlborough’s distinct sub-regions. The diversity fully expresses the intensity of aroma and flavour possible within the region’s unique climatic conditions.
