Allan Scott Pinot Noir
Wine Description
A cool climate grape, Pinot Noir is particularly suited to the Marlborough region. The aging of our vines and the greater understanding we gain as growers has enabled us to further develop our Pinot Noir style each year and this 2013 vintage is no exception, continuing our aim of developing our own distinctive style.
