Twomey Cellars Sauvignon Blanc cognac and measured French oak agingTwomey Cellars Sauvignon Blanc is a 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Northern California's premier appellations, bottled at approximately 13. 8% ABV in a standard 750ml format. What distinguishes this wine from most California Sauvignon Blancs is its unconventional production: 90% of the juice is fermented in French oak barrels rather than stainless steel, yielding a richness and textural weight that James Suckling described as "more like a Bordeaux blanc"
