95 Points Bob Campbell MW
In stock
A reference point for quality in Kiwi Sauvignon. Dog Point is made by ex-Cloudy Bay growers and offers beautifully defined character, but nothing aggressive or obviously shouting. Perfect balance and texture make this a top notch example for the price. Not only for Sav lovers, but lovers of fine wine, the Dog Point Sauvignon is a legend and a must-try.

Its Origins

Dog Point Vineyard combines the considerable winegrowing experience of Ivan Sutherland and James Healy, the former chief viticulturalist and head winemaker at Cloudy Bay. After leaving Cloudy Bay, Ivan and James began making wines from Sutherland's own vineyards, which were planted in the 70's and 80's. Additional fruit is sourced from selected vineyard plantings dating back to the late 1970's. The first vintage with the Dog Point label was 2004, using 2002 fruit. Over 200 hectares of vines are farmed, with sustainable/organic practices.
