The Moorlands

2006 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

Allan Scott Family Winemakers The Moorlands is a remarkable 2006 Sauvignon Blanc from the renowned Marlborough region of New Zealand. This white wine displays a vibrant, pale straw color with enticing green glimmers. On the nose, it offers a delightful bouquet of fresh citrus fruits and playful herbaceous notes, showcasing its lively character. The wine's palate is beautifully balanced, featuring bright acidity that heightens its refreshing qualities while maintaining a medium body. The fruit intensity is prominent, with flavors of ripe lemon, gooseberry, and hints of tropical fruits all harmoniously integrated. This Sauvignon Blanc is strikingly dry, making it an excellent companion for seafood dishes, summer salads, or simply enjoyed on its own as a delicious aperitif. With its elegant structure and expressive profile, The Moorlands leaves a lingering impression, reflecting the exceptional terroir of Marlborough.

Marlborough

New Zealand's Marlborough region is arguably its most important, a name synonymous with the country's distinctive world-class Sauvignon Blancs. Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc—with its tropical fruit, gooseberry and herbaceous notes—is one of a kind. And it is all thanks to Marlborough's terroir: a large, gravelly river valley inland of Cloudy Bay at the northeast tip of the South Island, it enjoys long, warm, maritime-influenced summers. But Marlborough isn't only about Sauvignon Blanc. The region also produces exceptional Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, sparkling wine and both dry and sweet Riesling.
