One for him, Two for her, Three for all

Whether you are a wine lover, a die-hard beer fanatic or simply looking for the perfect 'his and her' duo, the Scott family's stable of beverages can provide you with the perfect option to make your special occasion a festive one. Take your pick from either of the sparkling wines, or try Allan's son Josh's uniquely brewed Moa Beer. They are full of festive bubbles and proudly bear the Allan Scott family seal of approval. Allan Scott Wines & Estates Ltd is a family owned and operated vineyard and winery group. The company was founded in 1990 although the family's history in winegrowing began in 1975 when they planted their first vineyard as a contract grower. The winery is nestled amongst the prime vineyards in Jackson's Road, Blenheim, surrounded by mature trees and manicured gardens. The Cellar Door shop and Twelve Trees Restaurant complete the facilities.

For those who are more partial to a vino, try Allan Scott's latest sublime varietal - a deliciously refreshing Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc that combines the class of Allan Scott's trademark Sauvignon Blanc with the excitement of fine, long lingering bubbles. Defined by a strong aromatic mix of limes, passionfruit and melon intermingled with gooseberry and grassy notes, this promises to be a summer favourite but would fit the bill at any time of year.

Rosé lovers will delight in Les Joues Rouges Rosé Methode Traditionelle NV. It's dry and full of the flavours of ripe strawberries and raspberries. The pinot noir skins provide a bright pink colour. Served well chilled, it's perfect as an aperitif and matches beautifully with smoked salmon. If you can't stand to be without a beer, then Moa might be just for you. A keen ale-lover himself, Josh has been busy nurturing and perfecting his own collection of unique, acclaimed brews. Available in a range of sizes and distinctive flavours, Moa Beer is much like its namesake in that it is an extremely rare-find. It is the only beer to be fermented in the bottle, like French champagne, and crafted somewhat eccentrically in a small rural brewery.

Regardless of whether you crave a refreshing wine or a crisp, unique beer, these the perfect beverage complements for memorable occasions. Used for a celebration, as an aperitif, or simply enjoyed with friends on a lazy Sunday afternoon, the bubbles in both beverages make for an exciting affair. Moa Beer retails at $14.90 for a 750ml bottle, $44.90 for 3 x 750ml, $7.90 for a 375ml bottle and $47.40 for 6 x 375ml. Allan Scott's Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc retails at $19.99. Both brands are available from Glengarry or leading liquor outlets, the Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc is found at leading supermarkets.
