Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough 2022

A delicious organically farmed New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc

Produced in Marlborough's acclaimed Wairau Valley which gets plenty of rain and sees plenty of sunshine to fully ripen grapes
The vines are kept in check to reduce yields and ensure only the freshest, highest quality grapes are handpicked at harvest
The nose is very slightly reductive with struck-match notes and extra-bright passionfruit aromas
The palate is fresh and zingy with a lovely weight and plenty of delicate fruit
Pair this wine with fresh, simple seafood dishes, especially oysters

'Herbaceous on the nose, with notes of bell pepper and peashoots along with lime, guava and passion fruit. There are some spices and exotic fruits on the palate, as well as a smoky character that adds roundness. An elegant and balanced wine with a long finish. 93' - Bob Campbell MW, Decanter

'Already a firm favourite with British drinkers back in 2001, New Zealand sauvignon blanc has since become the nation's favourite dry white. Dog Point's example is a lucid reminder why: exhilaratingly verdant, citrus-racy and mineral' - David Williams, The Observer

'This is the thinking person's New Zealand sauvignon blanc, with notes of lemon, elderflower and a slight smokiness, ending with the region's trademark lift and refreshing acidity. Stick it in a bucket of ice and serve to your best friends.' - Will Lyons, The Times

'Tangy, savoury and dry, this is a complex, flinty, well balanced white with no oak, allowing the quince, greengage and gooseberry fruit to shine.' - Tim Atkin MW, www.timatkin.com
