Kim Crawford Illuminate Éclairer Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandGrapes for this wine are individually harvested from KC vineyard blocks in subregions throughout Marlborough. Illuminate Éclairer uses the Spinning Cone technology to reduce the alcohol below 1% on approximately 60% of the final volume, with 40% of the base blended back to achieve a final alcohol level of 7%. The nose is one of the best I have ever encountered in the low alcohol field, excepting the magical Mosel offerings. Look for a mix of guava, lemons, and passionfruit with heightened acidity. The mid palate has enough weight to carry the acidity before the herby notes kick in across the finish. At 7% alcohol and 90 calories per 6.6 ounce pour, Iluminate Éclairer is going to build a significant following. This is a genuine option for those seeking lower alcohol content, especially if you're a fan of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.Tasted: 19 July 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $21.99 | 750ml | BC Liquor Stores |
