- TASTING NOTE: "The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is light in body but dense in concentration because of low yields. It is almost silvery in color and restrained due to hand-picked, leading to pure grapefruit, passion fruit and nectarine, all delivered with plenty of focus and punch. The finish is long, precise and sinewy" Rebecca Gibbs, Vinous
- ABOUT THE WINE: This consistently low-yielding Sauvignon Blanc comes from an organic vineyard in Marlborough, where the vines benefit from sunny, dry afternoons during the ripening season. The grapes are whole-bunch pressed and cold settled prior to fermentation, followed by four months of aging in stainless steel tanks to retain the wine's fresh and vibrant character. A portion is fermented with wild yeast, introducing an extra layer of complexity to the wine.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The vineyard was originally planted by Ivan and Margaret Sutherland in the 1970s, with the Dog Point label officially launched in 2004, debuting the 2002 vintage. Today, it stands as New Zealand's largest certified organic vineyard, nestled on the hill slopes of the Southern Valleys in Marlborough. The name "Dog Point" refers to Marlborough’s earliest European settlement and the introduction of sheep farming in the area. The vineyard is home to Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir, all cultivated using organic practices.
