About this Wine

The Scout Pinot x Pinot is a blend of Pinot Noir (97%) and Pinot Gris (3%) ―varieties that together create a delightfully bright, light, crunchy and smashable little red. This year, Scout’s ode to Beaujolais hails mainly from the steeply sloped terraces at the end of Felton Road in the Bannockburn sub-region.

It’s a west-facing site, catching the morning and early afternoon rays before enjoying a shady close to the day thanks to the Carrick Ranges. The Pinot from these 20-year-old vines is dark-fruited with lots of perfume and silky structure.

There is a small portion of Pinot from the cooler Packspur Vineyard in Lowburn, lending blue fruits and freshness to the mix. The fruit ferments in two lots, one as bunches and one destemmed.

The destemmed fruit brings a soft, plush nature to the crunchy, energetic whole-bunch portion. The ferments are gassed, sealed and left alone for two weeks before a quick foot stomp and pressing to old barrique and puncheon for maturation. Pinot Gris from the Lapis Lazuli vineyard high on the Bendigo Terrace was blended in after fermentation, adding floral lift and a lick of spice.

Wines of Marlborough

Marlborough is at the northern tip of New Zealand’s South Island and is the leading region in the country, being responsible for 75% of NZ’s wine production and 85% of its exports. Marlborough is internationally renowned for its distinctive style of Sauvignon Blanc, described by some wine writers such as Oz Clarke and George Taber as the best in the world. Australia being such a close neighbour, we get a great number of brands imported into the country.

Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough is grown on well-draining alluvial gravels, with large temperature fluctuations between day and night. These conditions are great for growing grapes that strike a perfect balance between ripeness and acidity. The result is sauvignon blanc that is aromatic, driven by tropical fruit flavours but also supported by an herbaceous and mineral character. Aussies often described Marlborough Savvy Blanc as full of passionfruit flavour.

Despite many consumers having an idea of what Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is, the wine is actually made in a wide range of different styles. Wine makers take advantage of different clones, fermentation styles, lees-stirring and aging regimens to give their wines nuance and differentiate their brand from one another. You may have had sauvignon blanc from Marlborough before, but it is always worth exploring some not so commercial brands if it is a style you enjoy.

Other varieties that are produced in the region include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris.
