Twin Islands Description

Our pride and joy since 1992.
We do one thing and do it well. As the chosen one, we pour all our knowledge and love into
crafting this single Sauvignon Blanc that is consistently good, year on year. Grown and made
exclusively in Marlborough, New Zealand, Twin Islands Sauvignon Blanc 2019 is the essence of
the region.
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.
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.
T A S T I N G N O T E S
Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs are characterised by aromatic intensity derived from the cool
climate, high sunlight intensity and free draining soils.
With a lively fragrance and crisp palate, citrus flavors and hints of fresh herbs lead to a zesty,
mouth-watering finish.
F O O D P A I R I N G
Ideal on its own or with seafood, Asian flavors and anything fresh, zingy or bold, this is a very
food-friendly wine.
