Unity
Books & Harper Collins NZ warmly invite you to
The true story of the rise of Marlborough
and NZ Sauvignon Blanc, told by one of its pioneers, winemaker Allan Scott,
as both personal and professional memoir, fully illustrated.
As a young farm hand he helped plant the
first vines, going on to help Montana and Corbans establish their sauvignon
vineyards, and then to found his own hugely successful family winery. He
knows the real stories, the mistakes and the triumphs, the heroes and
villains, and how an unlikely region of New Zealand's South Island became a
varietal powerhouse and major export industry. A lot of how it happened came
down to luck, along with perseverance and bloody-mindedness, and some
extraordinary ingenuity that revolutionised winemaking.
Setting the record straight, as well as
telling a personal saga of risking it all and keeping a family together,
Allan recounts his story with great humour and modesty. With a rich
photographic archive and new photography from award winning photographer Patrick
Reynold, this is a fine memoir with real body and taste.
