James Suckling bewertet den Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Clean and crisp with grapefruit, green melon and lemon character. Hints of stones. Medium body. Lovely acidity and a delicious finish. Some phenolic tension here. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap.
Der 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."
