Scout’s Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Fresh • Rare English Wine

England’s answer to Sauvignon Blanc? Turns out it’s… Sauvignon Blanc.

Grown in the sunny Crouch Valley in Essex, Scout’s proves that this globe-trotting grape feels right at home here. Think all the zingy gooseberry, elderflower and citrus you’d hope for, but with the bright, mouth-watering freshness that English vineyards do so well.

Fermented mainly in stainless steel to keep everything crisp and vibrant, with just a whisper of oak adding a little extra texture, it’s fresh, aromatic and seriously easy to love.

England’s answer to Sauvignon Blanc is Sauvignon Blanc. Scout’s shows just how well the variety can work here when grown in the right place. The Crouch Valley gives us ripeness, lift and aromatic intensity, while the English acidity keeps everything fresh, precise and beautifully balanced. Fergus Elias Head Winemaker

The Story

Accounting for less than 1% of total grape plantings across the country,  Sauvignon Blanc remains a small but exciting part of the English wine story.

Scout’s Sauvignon Blanc is a chance to see this much-loved variety through a distinctly English lens. Grown in the Crouch Valley in Essex—one of England’s most exciting regions for still wine—the vineyard gives us the perfect balance of ripeness, aromatic intensity and the bright freshness that makes English Sauvignon Blanc so unique.

This is a special, limited release showcasing just how beautifully the variety can perform when grown in the right place. Only a limited number of bottles have been made, so once they’re gone, they’re gone.
