91 Points - Sam Kim, WIne Orbit (2001 Vintage)

Marlborough Pinot Gris has grown strongly in popularity over the last few years and has quickly become a staple in the Allan Scott Family Winemakers range.

Winemakers let Pinot Gris have a short spell of skin contact to enhance its colour and flavour. The result is a delicately luscious wine that exhibits pear, apple, and subtle floral and honeysuckle flavours. With a smooth texture, this wine is flawlessly delicious when enjoyed on its own.

Cloudy Bay (Marlborough) 2023 Chardonnay

Winery description

"Our Chardonnay comes from a combination of vineyards across the Omaka, Brancott, Rapaura and Renwick sub-regions. Their complementary soil types - the gravelly soils of the Wairau Valley and the cooler clay soils of the Southern Valleys - provide a great balance of ripeness and elegance.

After gentle pressing, the juice was settled and racked before being transferred to French oak barriques, of which 20% were new. Half of the batches were put to barrel with full solids (without racking). Following fermentation, the wine rested in barrel for 11 months before blending. 21% of the wine went through malolactic fermentation.

2019 Chardonnay is fresh, fragrant and mouth-watering. The nose is redolent of orchard fruit, white peach, apricot, blossom and warm hay. Palate The palate is
concentrated, with notes of apple and pear balanced by gentle vanilla spice, hazelnut and a subtle saline note. A dart of citrus acidity delivers freshness and leads to a long and appealing finish."

De Bortoli Family Selection (Sth Eas Aus) 2025 Chardonnay

Pale straw with a lime green rim in colour. Bright, ripe peach and melon flow across a fresh, modest palate. Prudent oak usage allows the fruit to shine while piquing interest with a sublime caramel cashew oak finish.

The wine is fermented cool over a two-week period. Selected parcels were fermented on house select French Oak. Once the ferment is complete, the wine is rested and matured for 5 months on fine yeast lees to build palate weight.

Match with grilled whole halibut with lemon and caper sauce.

Hunters (Marlborough) 2023 Gewurztraminer

93 Points - Cameron Douglas MS Shout Summer World of Wine

Winery note
"This is a single vineyard wine made with fruit from our Rapaura Road vineyard, next to the winery. The vines were planted in 1995 and while the planting plan is long since lost, we believe there are up to seven different clones and rootstock combinations in the vineyard. The fruit was machine harvested in two passes. The picks were fermented separately and then blended back together. The early pick lends acidity to the wine and a strong ginger flavour. The later pick has more classic Gewurztraminer characters – lychee and lemongrass."

94 Points - Cameron Douglas MS
"A very youthful and pungent bouquet filled with aromas of pink grapefruit, apple, lemon and tropical fruits. A layer of freshly sliced bell-pepper and crushed basil adds depth and complexity. Equally pungent and youthful as the wine touches the palate with a saline acid line, crunchy fresh citrus textures and flavours that mirror the bouquet. Gooseberry and apple, lemon and tropical fruits. Delicious and new a wine that will age well, will be perfect with freshly steamed mussels or kina. Best drinking from 2024 through 2029" Cam Douglas

Fragrant notes of elderflower, guava and mint jump out of the glass, followed by hints of oregano and thyme layered with passionfruit and citrus. This in-your-face drop captures the essence of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Concentrated citrusy notes of lime zest and tropical guava combine with a lick of wet stones. The palate is dry and gives way to a lip-smacking, mouth-watering finish.
