Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc 2024 750ml

Certified organic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with citrus snap, saline minerality and a long, clean finish.

Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is a vibrant, terroir driven Marlborough classic from one of the region’s most respected small producers. It’s hand harvested and made from fruit grown on Dog Point’s BioGro-certified organic vineyards, delivering bright citrus intensity, a gently savoury edge and that signature saline, mouth watering line that keeps you coming back for another pour. 

James Halliday Wine Companion - 97 Points 

A washing line of fresh linen, spring daisies and gently waving buffalo grass. There is lemon posset, limestone, chalk and grapefruit skin. Citrus and white stone fruit flavours centre deeply in the mid-palate, with a tantalising amount of fresh fruit sweetness and cascading and yet tapered acidity. This is just a top-notch white wine, full stop. Detailed, layered and moreish in every sense of the word. Close your eyes and take in the pretty aromas, taste the sandy dry mineral tones, consider the palate length and quality and you know you can only be drinking Dog Point from their esteemed Wairau sites in Marlborough. The savoury cream tones add further complexity and finesse. This is a global benchmark for sauvignon blanc. Shanteh Wale

About the Winery / Producer / Region

Dog Point was founded by Ivan & Margaret Sutherland and James & Wendy Healy,a team closely linked to Marlborough’s modern Sauvignon Blanc story through their earlier work at Cloudy Bay. The vineyards sit near the border of the Omaka and Brancott Valleys (Marlborough’s Southern Valleys), and the estate is widely recognised for its hands on approach, including hand harvesting and a strong organic focus.
Dog Point also states it owns and operates New Zealand’s largest BioGro certified organic vineyard, with organic conversion beginning in 2009.

Cellaring Potential

Brilliant now for brightness and energy; will hold and gain extra savoury complexity through 2028.
