Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc 2024 displays a pale straw hue with a vibrant, complex aroma of citrus fruits — grapefruit, lemon, lime and mandarin — complemented by subtle gravelly nuances. The palate is lively and juicy with riper stone fruit flavours, a crisp refreshing mid-palate and a bright, cleansing acidity on the finish. Ideal for immediate enjoyment, with the structure to age gracefully for five years or longer.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc 2024 presents a pale straw hue with excellent clarity — the hallmark of hand-picked Marlborough fruit, whole bunch pressed and fermented with 85% indigenous yeasts, aged four months in stainless steel and bottled without fining. Clean, bright and immediately inviting.
Aroma
Vibrant and complex on the nose — grapefruit, lemon, lime and mandarin interweave with subtle gravelly nuances that add genuine depth and Marlborough terroir character. There’s a freshness and precision here that speaks to the exceptional 2024 growing season, with idyllic sunshine hours and classic cool overnight temperatures preserving acidity and fruit freshness throughout.
Palate
Lively and juicy — riper stone fruit flavours bring a rich intensity, balanced by a crisp, refreshing mid-palate and a bright, cleansing acidity that carries through to a long, elegant finish. 85% indigenous yeast fermentation adds texture and authenticity, while four months in stainless steel preserves the purity and vibrancy of the fruit. Drink now or cellar five years or longer.
Pairs With
A natural match for freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, sashimi, goat’s cheese, green salads or lightly spiced Asian dishes — the citrus, stone fruit, gravelly minerality and bright acidity make this a versatile and refreshing companion at the table.
