Kim Crawford Illuminate Rose
Kim Crawford Illuminate Rose is a 7.0% ABV lower-alcohol rosé from New Zealand — just 70 calories per 5 oz serving compared to 130 in the brand's original rosé, with the flavor kept full. Sun-ripened New Zealand grapes undergo cold-soaking before fermentation, then Spinning Cone technology removes a portion of the alcohol without touching the aroma or taste. The result: watermelon and berry aromas with floral notes, fresh berry flavors, crisp acidity, and a dry finish. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Full Flavor, Half the Alcohol
Illuminate is Kim Crawford's answer to the lighter-drinking trend: same signature quality and style as the original rosé, with the alcohol gently reduced by Spinning Cone — a technique that strips alcohol while leaving aromatics intact. The cold soak before fermentation pulls color and aroma from the skins, so the wine drinks like a proper rosé, not a watered-down one. Browse Kim Crawford or explore rosé wines.
