Wine Production

Grapes were machine-harvested at night then fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel to retain fresh aromatics. The wines were fermented using aromatic yeasts giving classic intense citrus and grass on the nose and a fresh zingy palate.

About the Vineyard

Marlborough is a sheltered, sunny, cool maritime climate known for intense, highly aromatic wines.

Twin Islands Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from sites on free-draining stony soils, giving low cropping/low vigour vines, relatively early ripening, great flavour development every year. A blend of sites adds layers of complexity.
