Dog Point Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2018, Marlborough

A Marlborough benchmark

Grapes are hand-picked from eight of our own vineyards within the Wairau Valley. Cropped at an average of 10 tonnes/hectare. The fruit is whole bunch pressed, cold settled before fermentation and 4 months aging in stainless steel tanks.

TASTING NOTES

Bright, fresh, citrus driven sauvignon with elements of honeydew melon, pears and gala apples. A very pure, yet restrained, classic sauvignon expression. The citrus core of flavuts are juice and intense. Deliciously refreshing saline acidity and mellow rounded texture on the finish. Drinks beautifully now or can comfortable be cellared for five years of more.
