Each vintage the chaps down at Kim Crawford go on the hunt for small batches of exceptional grapes which they make into their Small Parcel ‘SP’ range. This year has been no different with another discovery of a little Sauvignon Blanc that they class as top notch.

The 2006 Spitfire is a hugely aromatic and intense wine with nettle, grapefruit and tropical notes, which are underscored with the typical herbaceousness - all characteristics of good quality Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. On the palate this is a full flavoured wine with dry herbs, gooseberry and tropical fruits and a long lasting flavour.

This wine was awarded a Gold medal at the New Zealand International Wine Show 2006 and the Air New Zealand Wine Awards 2006. Which is about as high a recommendation as you could wish!

The 2006 is on its way into the cellar. The 2005, which is drinking superbly now, is running out quickly; we have just a few bottles left.

Kim Crawford Spitfire Sauvignon Blanc 2006 £10.99
Kim Crawford Spitfire Sauvignon Blanc 2005 £10.99
