Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc ist der jüngste Geniestreich von Ivan Sutherland and James Healy. Schon zu Zeiten von Cloudy Bay haben diese Könner bewiesen. zu was Neuseeland in der Lage ist. Doch seit dem diese beiden sich für das Projekt Dog Point verantwortlich zeigen erreichen Sie neue Höhen und setzten die Maßstäbe auf ein neues Level.
Für uns die Sauvignon Blanc Referenz in Marlborough!
"Our version of the classic dry aromatic style of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The citrus core of flavours are juicy and intense with deliciously refreshing saline acidity. The wine calls for simple fresh seafood but can also be enjoyed as a pre-dinner aperitif with or without social distancing. One of the best vintages the region has experienced in years. Grapes are hand-picked from eight of our own vineyards within the Wairau Valley. Cropped at an average of 10 tonnes/hectare. The fruit is whole bunch pressed, cold settled before fermentation and 4 months aging in stainless steel tanks. A portion of this wine is fermented using indigenous yeast. Bottled without fining." (Dog Point)
Joe Czerwinski bewertet den Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc 2020 im April 2021 wie folgt:
Dog Point's 2020 Sauvignon Blanc boasts explosively pungent scents of boxwood, passion fruit and grapefruit. A bit more sedate on the medium-bodied palate, the flavors skew more toward pineapple and grapefruit with touches of fig and nectarine. This shows ample concentration, a silky mouthfeel, bright citrusy flavors and good length. In sum, it's a fine example of classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
James Suckling bewertet den Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc 2020 im Februar 2021 wie folgt:
This has some youthful, flinty notes with lime peel and green passion fruit, as well as peach and wet stone. The palate is crisp, composed and quite nicely coiled into shape. Punchy and pure citrus and tropical flavors sit fresh. Drink now. Screw cap.
