2019 Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc Organic, Marlborough

Dog Point Vineyard is a specialist Marlborough wine producer since 2002. We insist on low cropped vines and hand-picked fruit whilst adhering to an organic regime. Our philosophy is to produce regionally distinctive wines that will drink well now and age gracefully for many years.

Intense, precise sauvignon blanc with grapefruit, citrus, subtle passionfruit and a suggestion of struck flint character. A powerful wine that's long and linear, with strong varietal definition that's made more interesting with a hint of reductive character.

It has some richness of tropical fruit, but tang of grapefruit and gooseberry too, slight spice of cut green capsicum, though ripeness of fruit is the main theme. It has intensity and crunchy, a quartz-y texture in with a light creamy silkiness, and the finish is tight, flinty and long, and very passionfruity, leaving just a little smokiness in its wake. Flavour and precision. Seems to be a very good vintage for this wine.
