"Subtle smoky oak characters"
"nice velvety finish"
"Fruit driven, this wine is rich and dark with red cherries, raspberries and violets on the nose, along with well integrated French oak and creaminess from the malolactic fermention. Subtle smoky oak characters and bright berry fruit flavours on the palate and a nice velvety finish make this a delightfully harmonious Pinot Noir." Winemakers Notes
Nobody has more experience growing grapes in Marlborough than Allan Scott. He planted some of the region's most famous vineyards, including the very first, and has worked the land there every vintage since. He physically helped plant the region's very first vineyard in 1973. Many of the vineyards he developed subsequently have gone on to win world recognition. In 1985, he bought land in the Rapaura district of Marlborough. This was to become the home of the family winemaking venture. And today, Allan Scott Family winemakers sees Cathy, Allan's wife, running the Winery Restaurant & Cellar Door, son Josh is Head Winemaker, youngest daughter Sara is Group Viticulturist while eldest daughter Victoria heads up Marketing! And so today, 26 years later Allan Scott Family Winemakers work together to bring you expertly grown, lovingly-crafted wine, bottled on the estate.
