2026 Allan Scott - Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough (750ml)

Allan Scott came to Marlborough in 1973 to help plant Montana’s first vineyard in the region, and he has worked every harvest since. He and his wife Catherine bought their own land in 1975 and founded Allan Scott Family Winemakers in 1990, one of the first independent wineries in the area. Allan received the 2022 Wine Marlborough Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to the region. Today their children Josh and Sara lead the family winery.

The family vineyards sit in the Rapaura area on the northern edge of the Wairau Valley, mostly on stony, free-draining river flats close to the winery. Cool nights, sunny days and varied soils and vine ages give a range of flavors from herbaceous to ripe and tropical, which are blended for complexity. It is 100 percent Sauvignon Blanc, bottled under screwcap.

Aromatic and fresh, this Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc shows passionfruit, mango and guava with notes of chervil, dill and lemon. The palate is juicy and fruit driven with crisp acidity and a zesty finish. Serve it chilled with seafood, salads or creamy dishes.
