Kono 2023 Sauvignon Blanc
New Zealand White
$24.99
Vibrant and fruit-driven, this Marlborough white opens with citrus zest, grapefruit, passionfruit and lemongrass. The palate brings ripe lemon and lime, green apple and pineapple, framed by crisp, lively acidity. Tropical fruit and herbaceous notes are also documented, together with mineral detail and a small hint of residual sweetness. The profile is fresh, aromatic and centred on bright citrus and tropical fruit.
