2024 Allan Scott Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand

ABOUT THIS WINE

Sourced from estate vineyards across the Wairau Valley, the 2024 vintage reflects a cool, extended growing season that enhanced varietal clarity and elevated natural acidity. These vineyards benefit from alluvial soils and coastal influences, contributing to the wine’s hallmark minerality and vibrancy.

Grapes are harvested in the early hours to preserve freshness, then gently pressed and cold fermented in stainless steel using selected aromatic yeasts. The result is a pure, fruit-forward expression of Sauvignon Blanc—dry, intensely aromatic, and refreshingly crisp.

The 2024 shows a fine balance of citrus and tropical tones, underscored by subtle salinity and flinty minerality, with no oak influence. This is a wine made to celebrate immediacy, though it retains enough structure to enjoy over the next 1–2 years.
