An “Accidental Pioneer’s” Soaring 93pt Sauvignon Blanc

We wish it could always come together like this. 


Our members cannot get enough of mouthwatering Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc—especially bottles that come at phenomenal prices—and today we’ve got an absolute champion of the category: the 2021 Allan Scott Sauvignon Blanc.


This 93-pointer is Wine Spectator’s 2021 Wine Value of the Year, and we encourage EVERYONE who enjoys white wine to snap it up: Crafted by the family that planted the first vineyards in New Zealand’s now world-famous Sauvignon Blanc region, it’s a one-bottle argument for why the world loves Marlborough. Showing piercing tones of yellow grapefruit, passionfruit, tarragon, and wet steel, it's unabashedly fruit-forward, racy, and flamboyant, and finishes with a refreshing crispness. 

Spectator put it best: “The Marlborough region was built by accidental pioneers like Allan Scott.” It’s no exaggeration to say that Scott is “Mr. Marlborough.” He’s one of the few people who‘s worked every harvest in the area since the first one in 1973, and today he presides over 200 acres.  He is the region’s most capable and experienced vineyardist, having planted The Wallops Vineyard for his renowned neighbor Cloudy Bay in 1985.

This 2021 Sauvignon Blanc is composed of fruit from the Millstone, Omaka, and Moorlands Vineyards, which are planted on the stony, free-draining mid-Wairau Valley river flats. At harvest, the grapes are picked in the chill of night and then immediately pressed. The juice is kept at low temperatures to preserve aromatics, and a cool fermentation in 100% stainless steel guards the wine’s liveliness until it reaches the bottle. 

This is a wine that holds nothing back: It’s open and expressive, bursting with the characteristics that make Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc loved the world over.
