2021 Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc

Dog Point have access to some of Marlborough's most esteemed, proven and mature Sauvignon vineyards, mainly thanks to veteran viticulturist Ivan Sutherland and his family ownership of the outstanding 100ha Dog Point Estate established in the late 1970’s. Winemaker James Healy pushed the Dog Point style to the limit, embracing wild fermentation and struck-match reductive notes in pursuit of texture and complexity... considerably increasing the dimension and sophistication of our traditionally fruit driven Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. As a result, it delivers much more pleasure and intrigue in the glass... further heightened as the air opens the wine more fully, revealing its ample fruit weight through a long, concentrated palate with a fresh, lingering finish. There is a new and exciting Marlborough Savvy style evolving moving away from simple, primary fruit focused wines to wines with exuberant texture, balance and complexity, and Dog Point is leading the way. It’s so encouraging to see wineries like Dog Point moving NZ into a new exciting World of Wine production.
