Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc 2025 12.5% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

APPEARANCE

Pale straw.

AROMA

Restrained elderflower florals with grapefruit, white peach and pears, followed by underlying complex smoky-flint notes.

PALATE

Lovely saline acidity and bright citrus fruit characters burst on the palate, offering refreshment from the first sip. Fruit sweetness compliments and balances the acid backbone, finishing dry with fine phenolics intertwined with the acidity.

CELLARING POTENTIAL

Drinks beautifully now or can be cellared for 5+ years.

VINTAGE NOTES

Spring started warm and dry, with budburst timing about 7-10 days earlier than average, with only one significant frost. Idyllic sunny and warm conditions, set up one of the best flowering and fruit sets across all varieties in many decades. December provided a good dose of heat with multiple days over 30 ˚C and well spaced rainfalls to replenish the soils. Dry but cloudy conditions dominated January slowing development nicely, then becoming sunny from February onwards. 2025 proved to be a season of patience. With generous yields and largely favourable weather over the growing season, the fruit took some time to ripen fully. Thankfully, Marlborough’s classic dry and warm conditions kept fruit quality high over what was our longest harvest period (46 days) in 24 years.

VINIFICATION

Fruit is hand picked and whole bunch pressed prior to cold settling then fermentation using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for 5 months in stainless steel tanks then bottled without fining.
