Allan Scott
Pinot Noir
A cool climate grape, Pinot Noir is particularly suited to the Marlborough region. Allan Scott Pinot Noir develops each year from the aging of the vines and the increasing expertise of their growers.
Wine Production
The whole bunch grapes were transferred to open top cuves for cold maceration of 7-10 days followed by wild fermentation. During fermentation, the juice is pumped over and plunged up to 3 times per day allowing gentle extraction of fruit tannins.
Tasting Notes
This Marlborough Pinot Noir has aromas of spice, currant, and dark Ghana chocolate. A juicy cherry mouthfeel matches perfectly with the grippy bitterness of the dark cocoa. A long and luxurious feel on the palate will remind you of your favorite cherry jam colliding with a warm dark cup of black tea.
Food Pairing
Vibrantly concentrated wine to be enjoyed with rich, flavorsome food.

About the Vineyard
Produced from their Pinot Noir vineyards established in 1995 with a mixture of Dijon clones. Two cane pruning, shoot removal, bunch thinning and leaf plucking are just some of the vineyard husbandry techniques to ensure concentrated flavors and desirable sugar levels. Careful planning and meticulous attention in the vineyard keep the grapes growing to their full potential.
