Sauvignon Blanc
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.
Wine Production
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.
Tasting Notes
Fresh, zesty, juicy and full, this fruit-driven new world style wine will excite the senses without the racy overload. Tropical fruit with a fresh herbaceous character balanced with zesty passionfruit and a dry finish. A crisp refreshing wine, that shows the true terroir characters of the soils and area it comes from.
Food Pairing
Best enjoyed now chilled on its own with fresh local seafood or with the last of the summer produce.
