Dog Point Vineyard
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is light in body but dense in concentration because of low yields. It's almost silvery in color and restrained due to hand-picking, leading to pure grapefruit, passion fruit and nectarine, all delivered with focus and punch. The finish is long, precise and sinewy. $23.00 (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, July 2024)

Last night I opened the 2021 Dog Point Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand.
On the nose there is pungent up front in your face grapefruit, lime, gooseberry, melon, asparagus, flunty notes and minerality.
On the palate are nice grapefruit, lime, white peach, gooseberry, melin, guava and minerality.
This wine is light to medium bodied with a fresh clean fleshy mouthfeel medium + to high acidity that has a long citrus grapefruit finish. I hope everyone's weekend has been an eventful one. Please have a great week ahead and stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂

The 2022 Dog Point is elegant, with appealing ripe nectarine fruit and bright acidity. This is an attractive, light bodied Sauvignon Blanc with appealing succulence through the mid- palate, potentially due to lower yields. A triumph in a difficult year, showing the results of rigorous selection. $25.00 (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, May 2023)

Dog Point Vineyard combines experience of Ivan and Margaret Sutherland & James and Wendy Healy. Ivan and James met while working at Cloudy Bay Vineyards. Light straw with typical SB aromas with some floral mineral notes. On the palate flavors of melon and grapefruit citrus with honeysuckle notes, lively acidity, nice mouthfeel with long finish ending with a salty spice character. Exceptional wine! Drink ‘19 now!
