Vintage 2022 Perfecting the taste of a pure NZ summer

The vintage 2022 highlight was filmed over a period of 12 months. From the moment the vines were pruned in July 2021, to when the wine was made in June 2022. We had our camera crew follow the team across all 12 months, day and night.

The team at Allan Scott Wines would like to show you how much passion, work, love and team effort goes into every bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. With every vintage, we strive towards creating the purest, most memorable, and best possible wine out of what nature has gifted us in the form of soil, sun, water and wind.

It was a very “new” normal growing and harvesting season for a lot of Marlborough vineyards. Having secured a team of talented cellar hands, the first fruit was met with a great deal of enthusiasm and excitement. A good flowering period, steady and at times very heavy rainfall throughout the season had us employ every bit of viticulture knowledge and finesse. It was crucial to be on top of our vineyard management programme.

Fortunately, we had the ability to call on years of collective experience of growing grapes and making wine across the country. Intricate terroir knowledge and almost daily fruit assessment kept our grapes growing to their full potential.

You can expect every bit of aroma and flavour you have grown to know and love Marlborough for.

Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2021 taking first place on the list!

The No.1 Best Wine Value / 93 Point bottle of Allan Scott Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc that you might be holding or pouring from is a warm hello and thank you from the family of innovative and adventurous winemakers — we have an unparalleled desire to let you try the best of what New Zealand has had to offer since 1975 and love nothing more than emptying a few bottles and sharing laughs together.

“Perhaps the biggest success for the business and Vintage 2021 has been its evolution into a true family business. Josh Scott and my younger daughter Sara Stocker assumed control of the company and head up the production, management and development of the company with a highly skilled operational team. They grew up on the vineyard, learned from the rest and brought their own flair into the company and wine. Vintage 2021 was their year and as the next year’s work starts now, the best is yet to come.” Allan Scott
