Allan Scott

Like the vines themselves, the family's story is intertwined with the roots of winemaking in Marlborough. In 1990, Allan and his wife Catherine founded Allan Scott Family Winemakers, one of the first independent wineries in the region. Allan, with more than 40 years of experience since his first harvest in 1973, laid the foundations for the company. What began as a modest venture has now grown into a true family passion, with their children Josh and Sara taking over the reins, while Allan and Catherine remain actively involved in the production process.

Allan Scott is a name that synonym stands for quality wine from Marlborough.

From grape to glass, four decades craftsmanship.

With its unique combination of cool nights, sunny days and young soils, Marlborough is recognised as one of the world's greatest wine regions. Within Marlborough, the Rapaura area on the north side of the Wairau Valley is particularly sought after. This is where the family has established their vineyards, close to the winery. The different soil types and the age of the vines allow them to achieve a wide range of typical Marlborough flavours, from spicy notes to ripe tropical flavours, with special care for each vineyard.

From the first vines to award-winning wines.

The modern, fully equipped winery specialises in producing aromatic varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, which thrive perfectly in the sandy soils that predominate in the vineyards. Pinot Noir also thrives in Marlborough's sunny climate, contributing to the Scotts' ever-growing reputation for traditionally made wines. In 2006, the Allan Scott Winery joined the Sustainable Winegrowers New Zealand programme and continues to follow the guidelines closely. In doing so, they use organics and minimise the use of chemicals and energy in working the vineyards.
