Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, 2024, Dog Point

Hand picked and whole bunch pressing of fruit prior to cold settling then fermentation. 85% of this wine is fermented using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for 4 months in stainless steel tanks then bottled without fining.

Colour : Pale straw. Aroma : Pure and bright perfume with an array of citrus covering grapefruit, lemon, lime and mandarin. Subtle gravelly tones help to weave another layer of complexity around the fruit. Palate : Juicy and fresh upfront, the riper fruit spectrum of stone fruit opens and offers an intense generosity of flavour. It follows through the mid-palate with a refreshing and quenching finish of crystalline acidity.

Cellaring : Drinks beautifully now or can comfortably be cellared for five years or more.

95 Points, Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate

“The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc leads with a distinct nose of freshly picked curry leaf, crushed sea shells, lemon zest, asphalt, mustard seed, dried coriander/coriander seed and white flesh orchard fruit. This is powerfully fruited, has great energy and drive and unsurprisingly, offers great pleasure and satisfying drinking. This is a very smart, savory wine here.”
