"Why not make a wine that's purposefully designed to bring people together?"

That was the thought bugging wine-lover and Double By Single founder, Georgia Single, for years.

A hardcore fan of long lunches and even longer nights spent connecting, laughing and dancing with friends and family, the budding Kiwi entrepreneur noticed a gap in the market for premium wines at an affordable price and decided to bring together two of her favourite pastimes: drinking wine and having a damn good time.

With a degree in Social Services, a background in mental health, and one foot in the (cellar) door thanks to the family business, Georgia set out to create an iconic brand that sparked togetherness, connectedness, joy, laughter - and a helluva’ lot of good memories.

All our wines are from Monowai Estate, a stunning 22ha vineyard located on the northern banks of the Ngaruroro River in the Crownthorpe district of the world-famous wine-making region of Hawke's Bay's, New Zealand.

The property is home to Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Merlot, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grapevines planted in free-draining red gravel with a thin top layer of silt loam, making them ideally suited to the local climate. The grapevines are trained to increase fruit intensity and consistency, while the process of hand-thinning ensures low yields and leaf plucking maximises sunlight and air movement through the vines. (Pretty fancy, huh?)

Our chief winemaker, Emma Lowe, is a bit of a legend when it comes to crafting damn fine vino. Emma graduated with a degree in winemaking from Adelaide University (Australia) and has made wines in Australia, Switzerland, South Africa, France, Chile and New Zealand.

Also: She has excellent taste in music and knows how to pair cheese and wine like no one else.
