This is a huge accolade for this affordable New Zealand classic and the fourth vintage in a row that Allan Scott Sauvignon has scored 90+ points with Wine Spectator. In fact, the 2021 vintage scored 93 points, making it one just five Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs to garner 93 points and sell for less than $20 in the history of Wine Spectator!
It's an out and out Marlborough classic; always popular and now at the right price. Climb in.
The winery writes "Fresh, zesty, juicy and full, this fruit-driven new world style wine will excite the senses without the racy overload. Tropical fruit with a fresh herbaceous character balanced with zesty passionfruit and a dry finish. A crisp refreshing wine, that shows the true terroir characters of the soils and area it comes from.”
Sam Kim writes "Fresh and gorgeously lifted, the bouquet shows Granny Smith apple, rockmelon, fig and kaffir lime notes, leading to a powerfully expressed palate offering excellent varietal purity and persistency. Wonderfully flavoursome and highly enjoyable."
Wine Spectator writes "Strikes a terrific balance between mouthwatering acidity, fresh herbal notes of lemon verbena and thyme, and core flavors of Key lime, Meyer lemon, pineapple and tangerine. Gains momentum on the finish, where the flavors sing in harmony and complexity."
