Josh Scott
Chief Executive Officer and Proprietor
The Marlborough winemaker carries on a distinguished
Sauvignon Blanc legacy at Allan Scott Family Winemakers.
It could be said New Zealand’s Josh Scott was destined
to make wine. Grape growers since 1973, his parents,
Allan and Catherine Scott, founded Allan Scott winery
in the Marlborough region in 1990, providing fertile
ground for the young Josh to learn his craft.
Everything you come to
expect and love from our
Marlborough Estate Range,
with the addition of the Black
Lable range wines which
bring exquisite charm and
uncompromising quality, with
a touch more provenance,
edginess and sophistication
for those who’d like to
experience even more.
JOSH WHAT CAN WE
LOOK FORWARD TO
THIS YEAR?
Vintage 2022 was a very
“new” normal growing and
harvesting season for a lot
of Marlborough vineyards.
Having secured a team of
talented cellar hands, the
first fruit was met with a
great deal of enthusiasm
and excitement. A good
flowering period, steady and
at times very heavy rainfall
throughout the season had
us employ every bit of
viticulture knowledge and
finesse. It was crucial to
be on top of our vineyard
management programme.
My sister, Sara, is in charge
of all of our vineyards and
it all came down to nursing
the fruit almost by individual
rows and making sure the
fruit is being picked at the
best possible time. No blocks
were the same this vintage.
Fortunately, we had the
ability to call on her and
our collective experience of
growing grapes and making
wine across the region and
country. Intricate terroir
knowledge and almost daily
fruit assessment kept our
grapes growing to their
full potential.
JOSH WHAT CAN WE
LOOK FORWARD TO
THIS YEAR?
One that is packed with every
bit of aroma and flavour you
have grown to know and love
Marlborough for, Sauvignon
Blanc. This vintage comes
to you with such a strong
emphasis on fruit. Marlborough
produced unmistakable
herbaceous and fruit-forward
wine, with lush, tropical fruit
flavours dominating the palate,
I can’t wait for you to try it.
