Refreshing citrus flavor

"Which wines are good value for money and have a distinctly New Zealand feel?"

Here is a wine that can answer that question.

Rising market prices have made it harder than ever to find wines that are "clearly good value."

But if you look around, you can find some great wines like this.

This Alan Scott Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has maintained very consistent quality and has so far avoided any significant price increases.

Grapefruit, passion fruit, dried herbs.

These three elements are typical of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, and a wine that combines these three elements in the mid-2,000 yen range is a rare find.

Let's break down the flavor a bit more...

The fresh acidity of grapefruit and lime stimulates the palate, followed by the rich fruitiness of tropical fruits like passion fruit and mango, and finally a hint of herbs reminiscent of ginger that fades from the nose.

That's the image of this wine.

In the past, it received a score of 93 points from the American wine magazine Wine Spectator and was selected as the No. 1 best value wine.

The producer is Alan Scott, a Marlborough veteran who has been growing grapes since the 1970s and established his own winery in 1990.

This is a bottle that allows you to fully experience the skills of this team, who are well-versed in winemaking in Marlborough.

A perfect pairing is a salad with fruit. It also goes perfectly with fried foods such as fried chicken, fried white fish, and fried shrimp. In all cases, the citrus dressing is used to dress the dish.

It's also great for outdoor activities. Serve chilled.

In 1980, Alain took on the key role of overseeing the establishment of Marlborough vineyards.

This experience marked a major step in the family's winemaking journey, and in 1975 they purchased land and established themselves as independent winemakers in Marlborough.

When Allan Scott Wines was founded in 1990, he said, "We were one of the pioneering independent wineries." Over the decades since, the winery has undergone numerous transformations and evolved to meet market demands.

One of the greatest attractions of this winery is that it is a true family business, with Alan and Cathy's son Josh and daughter Sarah taking over the business and leading the company's production, management and development alongside a seasoned management team.

Allan Scott Estate wines are sourced from the finest grapes, including a range of single-vineyard prestige wines. In 1999, the Cecilia series was released, and now three sparkling wines are produced from the estate.
