Twin Islands Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough

   First released in 1992, Twin Islands Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc offers excellent full flavoured wine at great value. Fruit is sourced from specifically chosen vineyards in the heartland of Marlborough. These sites enjoy excellent ripening conditions for flavour-development in Sauvignon Blanc.

   Twin Islands Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2013 is pale straw in colour. Its lively fragrance combines tropical fruits, citrus peel and fresh herbs. The palate is crisp and intense showing grapefruit flavours with hints of fresh coriander and thyme which lead to a mouth-watering and zesty finish. Drink regularly over the next 18 months.

   The 2013 growing season was characterised by a warm but not hot spring/summer and a compressed harvest window. We had moderate crop levels and had to work hard to get all the grapes in on time.

   The grapes were harvested in the cool of the night, gently crushed and pressed to separate the full flavoured grape juice from the skins. The juice is then allowed to settle prior to racking to clarify. The wine then undergoes a long cool fermentation before blending and bottling and finally sealing with a screw cap, to retain all of its aromatics and fresh fruit characters.
