Monkeyshed Wines

A product of the boom that is the New Zealand wine industry. Originally setting up as growers in 1975 the Scott family went the whole hog in 1990 opening a winery and releasing their own label. Since then they have added a bottling hall, warehouse facilities and a modern, well equipped laboratory. Oh, and the key to any successful wine venture, a small brewery to produce high quality bottle conditioned beer! As the saying goes “it takes a lot of water to make good wine but even more beer.” (Anonymous Antipodean)
Allan and Cathy Scott now have son Josh as winemaker and daughter Sara responsible for their sustainable viticulture and organic practices concentrating on their Carbon ZERO programme.
And the wine? As you’d expect from such experience in the new southern heartland of Marlborough – great. Not too big and heavy as some can be but refreshing, fresh, vibrant southern sauvignon.
