Twin Islands Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Description

Apple, Dry, Melon

"Fresh and inviting, the bouquet shows green apple, rockmelon, lemongrass, and garden herb aromas, followed by a lively palate that's juicy and refreshing. Upfront and immediately appealing" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2025

With a lively fragrance and crisp palate, citrus flavours and hints of fresh herbs lead to a zesty, mouthwatering finish. Ideal on its own or with seafood, Asian flavours and anything fresh, zingy or bold, this is a very food-friendly wine.

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 has consistent quality, year on year. Grown and made exclusively in Marlborough, New Zealand, Twin Islands Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is the essence of the region.

The 2024 growing season saw a return of El Nino which brought back the nor-wester and a warm, dry summer. Some cool weather over spring resulted in moderate crops . The lower crops and dry weather meant the season advanced during late summer and we began the harvest in late February. 

On the 12th of March, we started the all-important Sauvignon Blanc harvest. Sixteen days later all our grapes were safely in the tank for our second earliest finish. Flavours this year are typically generous with good ripeness achieved over all varieties. All fruit was immaculately clean and in fact the cleanest fruit we have seen in years.
