Twin Islands Sauvignon Blanc

First released in 1992, Twin Islands Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc offers excellent full flavoured wine at great value. Fruit is sourced from selected vineyards in the Marlborough region which enjoy excellent ripening conditions for flavour-development in Sauvignon Blanc. Twin Islands Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2010 is pale straw in colour with a fragrant aroma of gooseberry and red capsicum with a hint of grapefruit. A generous mid palate with tropical fruit and gooseberry flavours leads to a fresh zingy finish. This wine is great drinking now or over the next 12-18 months.

The 2010 growing season was characterised by moderate cropping levels and a dry autumn allowing a very controlled harvest. Most of the sauvignon was picked over a 14 day period with a good range of flavours coming from our different vineyard sites. 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 and clarifying. 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.
