Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough – 2023

Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc is arguably New Zealand’s finest unoaked example of this grape each year. It combines pungent grapefruit and passion fruit flavours with purity, minerality and almost Sancerre-like restraint. Certified organic.

This was the highest scoring 2023 vintage New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc on jancisrobinson.com 28th March 2024. “Excellent purity and precision. I find this unspittable and feel sure it will be even better after another year in bottle.” 17.5/20pts 

“The thought-provoking 2023 vintage is arguably the best yet. Pale lemon/green, it is full bodied and vigorous, with penetrating, ripe passion fruit and lime flavours, showing a distinct touch of complexity and a long, dry finish. Still unfolding, it should break into its full stride in mid 2024+.” 5 stars, Michael Cooper

“Bright, fresh wine with typical varietal/regional characters including capsicum, gooseberry, lemongrass and passionfruit. Appealing purity with a perfect sweet/sour balance. A pleasure to taste.” 95pts Bob Campbell MW.
