- TASTING NOTE: "A wine that catches you off guard with its familiar waft of candle wax and sparkler flint. There’s a wistful white floral aroma of frangipani and freesia drawing you in. As it opens, notes of pomelo, white pear and pineapple emerge. The wine then lights up like fireworks – the soft, sparkling kind – revealing hints of lemonade, yellow melon and a glittering acidity that is carefully bridled. Nuances of celery heart and fresh ginger follow, adding complexity. It is exquisite in its balance – teetering tropical notes, the fragility of herbal suggestion and an utterly moreish finish." 97 Points - Shanteh Wale, Halliday
- 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.
