Winemaker Notes
Lush ripe tropical fruit aromas with dense passionfruit and melon-like flavours along with a hint of nettle herb in the background are first-up features.
With similar middle palate weight to our 1998 Sauvignon, the 1999 vintage produced grapes with greater complexity and perfect balance. Typical zingy acidity gives length of finish to a wine with elegance.
There are many occasions to enjoy our Sauvignon Blanc, either with food or on its own. Best accompanied by seafood, salads or non-spicy cuisine.

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.
