Winemaker Notes
This wine shows fruit-derived peach/apricot aromas balanced with the nutty vanillan characters of the oak and slight buttery notes from the malolactic fermentation. A well-balanced wine that will mature gracefully with time to reward careful cellaring.

Just like the vines themselves, the family's story is entwined in the very roots of Marlborough winemaking. Allan Scott planted some of the region's first vineyards in the 1970s and has been a part of every vintage grown here since.
In 1990, Allan and his wife Catherine founded Allan Scott Family Winemakers, one of the region's first independent wineries. Just as the name promises, it has always been a family endeavour, and it now has evolved into a true family calling. Allan and Cathy's children, son Josh and younger daughter Sara, have assumed full control of the company and lead the production, management, and development alongwith a highly skilled operational team.
The Scott family attributes their achievements to the exceptional vineyard sites they have carefully chosen, an intimate understanding of the terroir, ideal growing conditions, and an unwavering commitment to crafting the world's finest wines.
