Campbell Kind Wines New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandCampbell Kind Wines is a new project from Lifford Wine & Spirits founder Steven Campbell, build on from his decades travelling the wine world and connections in this industry. These are carbon neutral wines selected and produced by his winemaker friends around the world, packaged with the Kind Wine packaging, and line priced across Canada at a very attractive price. The aim is overdeliver value for drinkable, well-crafted wines, all while making an environmentally responsible choice. In addition this project has resulting in the planting of more than 90,000 trees in Canada. This Marlborough savvy is made in conjunction with Steve Smith MW, and from some of the oldest vines in Marlborough. Smith was the one that talked Steven Campbell into the project, and the eponymous name, and was the first collaborator. Tight and pointed potent gooseberry, white peach, apricot swells with juicy acidity, tempered with a greengage, hedge note and finishing with a hearty dose of pithy lime and grapefruit spicing. Alcohol and heft is a welcome 13 degrees, and acidity is crunchy and moreish, making this even more friendly.Tasted: 18 March 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
