Flying Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] From the 16th for two days, the 'Global Wine and Food Trip' held at Sebitseom Floating Island in Seocho-gu, Seoul, offers a chance to enjoy a variety of wines from around the world along with foods that pair well with them all in one place. Many well-known domestic wine importers will also participate, showcasing various wines.

According to Asia Economy on the 14th, Sompic Wine will present Lismore Wines' 'Flying Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc.' The Flying Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc is a 2021 vintage with an alcohol content of 12.7%, made from Sauvignon Blanc produced in the Wairau Valley of Marlborough, New Zealand.

It has a lemon hue with a slight green tint characteristic of classic Sauvignon Blanc, and a balanced aroma of ripe tropical fruits such as passion fruit, gooseberry, and citrus, along with herbal notes. It also has a pleasant slight sweetness, making it ideal for simple enjoyment with grilled poultry, seafood dishes, or as an aperitif.

Lismore Wines, established in 2000, is currently operated by owner Ant Saunders, who recruited Alan McCoKindale, one of New Zealand's top winemakers, to improve quality. McCoKindale, a winemaker with 40 years of experience in France, Germany, Australia, and other countries, has won the 'New Zealand Winemaker of the Year' award twice. Since McCoKindale took charge of winemaking, Lismore Wines has grown into a winery ranked within the top 20 in New Zealand by export volume.
