DOG POINT - Sauvignon Blanc 2019
Dog Point is located in Marlborough, on the South Island of New-Zealand. It was created by Ivan and Margaret Sutherland and is one of the oldest privately established vineyards in Marlborough with first plantings in the late 1970s. While working at Cloudy Bay Vineyards, Ivan met James Healy, where the pair played an integral part of the evolution of the Cloudy Bay brand. Discovering they shared the same aspirations, Ivan, Margaret, James and Wendy returned to a more hands-on approach launching the Dog Point label in 2004 using fruit from the 2002 vintage. Today, the two couples are actively involved in all facets of the business. Succession plans are in place with the next generation of the Sutherland family involved in running the day to day operations. Dog Point vineyard own and operate the largest organic"Biogro" certified vineyard in New Zealand.
The grapes of Sauvignon Blanc are hand-picked from eight plots of Dog Point vineyard within the Wairau Valley. The fruit is whole-bunch pressed, cold settled before fermentation and ageing lasts for 3 to 4 months in stainless steel vats.
