Allan Scott Family Winemakers vineyards are largely planted on the stony, free-draining mid-Wairau Valley River flats. The vineyards are sustainably managed, and with the care given during the growing season produce some of the world’s greatest wines. The wines tend to be beautifully structured, with lighter aromatics than expected off the heavier clay soils of the lower Wairau plain.

Years of experience and intricate terroir knowledge paired with a detailed vineyard management program allows the Allan Scott team to anticipate anything nature has to throw their way. An almost daily assessment in the vineyard keeps the grapes growing to their full potential, producing fruit with every bit of aroma and flavor for which Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is loved.

The grapes are machine harvested and immediately pressed in the cool of the night. The juice is maintained at cool temperatures to ensure the aromatics are not lost. Cleared juice is then fermented to dryness at cool temperatures with specifically selected yeasts. The pick of the tanks was then selected for blending into a wonderful fresh expression for bottling.
