Description
Marlborough Pinot Gris has grown strongly in popularity over the last few years and has quickly become a staple in the Allan Scott Family Winemakers range.
The wine was aged in a mixture of old and new French oak barrels for 4 months which adds a layer of complexity.
The short spell of skin contact to extract colour and flavour results in the rich golden hue that will develop with age.
Vintage 2021 / Cameron Douglas – 93 Points
“A very modern expression with texture and complexity from barrel fermentation, but also holds on to its core signature of white-fleshed fruit, citrus and white spice. Pears and apples, white pepper and a fine lees complexity deliver a wine of personality and charm.” Cameron Douglas
Vintage 2021 / The Real Review – 93 Points
“Dry, complex pinot gris, with ripe tree fruit, poached pear and apple, nutty flavours with a seasoning of ginger and spicy oak. A richly-textured wine with nicely-pitched acidity helping to drive a lengthy finish.” Bob Campbell
