Kono Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2024
Vintage Character
2024 Kono Sauvignon Blanc comes from Marlborough, New Zealand’s flagship appellation for Sauvignon Blanc, where bright light, cool nights, and a long growing season help preserve vivid aromatics and tension. Marlborough’s mix of free-draining alluvial soils and silty loams, shaped by a maritime climate, gives the wine its hallmark combination of pungent fruit, freshness, and clarity. The 2024 vintage in Marlborough is expected to show the region’s classic energy and precision, with vibrant fruit and crisp acidity making it especially appealing for drinkers seeking immediate charm and strong value.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
On the nose, this wine typically offers expressive notes of passion fruit, grapefruit, lime zest, cut grass, and fresh herbs, backed by a hint of tropical fruit. The palate is zesty and mouthwatering, with a light- to medium-bodied frame, juicy citrus, subtle green capsicum tones, and a clean, brisk finish that suits Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc so well. Serve it with grilled prawns, goat’s cheese salad, or sushi to highlight its brightness and refreshing cut.
Winery Background
Kono is part of Kono NZ, the wine division of Wakatū Incorporation, a Māori-owned family business with deep roots in Aotearoa New Zealand and a strong emphasis on guardianship of the land. The estate is known for sustainable vineyard management and a careful, fruit-led approach in the cellar designed to capture varietal purity and regional expression. Fermentation is typically carried out in stainless steel to preserve freshness and aromatic lift, resulting in a reliable, vibrant style that makes Kono a compelling introduction to contemporary Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
