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.
Tasting Notes
Light straw yellow in color with aromas of white peach, gooseberry, kiwi, and lime. On the palate, the wine is pleasantly fruity and backed by a streak of minerality and zesty acidity.
Food Pairing
Pair with salmon sashimi, lemon-butter risotto, or dijon tilapia cakes.

About the Vineyard
Wachtum means “Growth” or “Cru”. These young vines represent a nursery of sorts. Starting in 2000, Toni has assiduously collected and planted here over 100 different clones of Grüner Veltliner and with 2007 released the first wine from this site. The idea is to demonstrate a vibrant expression of the variety and also to protect and preserve the biodiversity of the grape variety. To further enhance the singular character of this wine the vineyard is planted to reclaimed terraces that had overgrown with forest due to decades of neglect, located at the very top of the Achleiten hillside.
