Description

A fuller-bodied, textural style of Sauvignon Blanc. This single-vineyard parcel is situated within the Dog Point Vineyard, using the same low cropping level from vines planted in 1992. The fruit is hand-picked, whole bunch pressed and fermented and aged in older French oak barrels for 18 months. Bottled without fining.

Ripe aromas of grapefruit and lemons with overt white floral characters in the forefront. The hint of struck match aromas characteristic of this wine, reflect the judicious use of during fermentation and ageing, adding a dimension of complexity and interest.

Dog Point

Ivan and Margaret Sutherland were among the earliest Marlborough wine industry pioneers who planted grapes in Marlborough in the late 1970s. Along with James & Wendy Healy they returned to a more 'hands-on' approach launching the Dog Point label in 2004. Today, with succession plans in place, the next generation of the Sutherland family are now running the day-to-day operations. The property is sensitively planted with Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown under organic principles.
