Allan Scott (Marlborough) 2025 Pinot Gris

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."

Cloudy Bay (Marlborough) 2024 Sauvignon Blanc

“It’s something that dances in the glass. It’s an exciting wine to make every year.” Daniel Sorrell Canopy Management

The iconic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is brimming with ripe citrus and stone fruit flavours. Vineyards planted on the Wairau Valley floor, where the climate and free-draining gravelly soils are perfect for Sauvignon Blanc. This includes the Estate, Motukawa, Widows, Red Shed, and Mustang vineyards

Fruit from each vineyard ferments separately before blending, a critical step in maintaining Cloudy Bay’s famous consistency. Rather than blending to make more wine, the winemakers carefully select the right grapes (from over 90 batches) for each year’s wine. This means the quantity may change, but never the quality.

The winery writes

Bouquet: Nashi pears, ginger and lemon zest. Palate: Honeydew nectar and lush fruits, sinfully succulent and devilishly good"

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."
