Kono Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2025
Vintage Character
Kono Sauvignon Blanc 2025 is a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, a region whose cool nights, bright sunshine and maritime influence help preserve the variety’s hallmark intensity and freshness. In Marlborough, vintages are typically shaped by long daylight hours and dry conditions that encourage slow flavour development, and this style consistently delivers excellent value through its purity, lift and precision. The region’s free-draining alluvial soils, together with coastal breezes, support vivid aromatics and the brisk natural acidity that defines this wine’s appeal.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Expect an expressive nose of passion fruit, lime zest, grapefruit, fresh-cut herbs and a touch of blackcurrant leaf. The palate is crisp and energetic, combining juicy citrus and tropical fruit with a clean, mouthwatering texture and a zesty, refreshing finish. It pairs especially well with grilled prawns, goat’s cheese salad, or sushi and sashimi, where its bright acidity and herbal snap complement delicate flavours without overwhelming them.
Winery Background
Kono is the wine label of Māori-owned Tohu Wines, part of Wakatū Incorporation, whose connection to the land is central to its identity and long-term stewardship philosophy. Fruit for Kono wines is sourced from estate vineyards in Marlborough, with an emphasis on careful site expression, sustainable farming and precise harvesting decisions. In the cellar, the aim is to protect freshness and varietal clarity through cool fermentation and a clean, fruit-driven style, making Kono a reliable modern ambassador for Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
