Description:	Allan Scott Wines & Estates Ltd is a family owned and operated vineyard and winery group. The company was founded in 1990 although the family’s history in wine growing began in 1975 when they planted their first vineyard as a contract grower. In 1985 the family decided to sell their original vineyard and purchased a new site in the Rapaura district where they developed their first block of Sauvignon Blanc. One year later they purchased another established vineyard across the road where the winery now stands. Since then the family has acquired more land in close proximity and established further vineyards in the favored areas of the Marlborough province. The grapes are harvested under cool conditions, then crushed and pressed. The juice is settled overnight then racked to another stainless steel tank to undergo “oak free” fermentation. Once the primary fermentation is complete the wine goes through malolactic fermentation. This softens the wine and increases complexity. The wine is then fined, filtered and prepared for bottling. Aromas of apricot and spice mingle with the nose, this is a medium, to full-bodied wine with a soft round palate showing ripe peach and stone fruit flavors, with subtle hints of spice, freshly baked biscuits and a pleasantly lingering finish. As the Marlborough region has gained a well deserved reputation as a wine and food haven, Allan Scott Wines has developed its own reputation as a Marlborough icon and a sound name for outstanding wines. Quality and absolute dedication to achieving the best is the key to Allan Scott Wines. The company prides itself on viticultural excellence, extending through to the finished product.
