Dog Point Vineyard
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Last night I opened the 2021 Dog Point Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand.
On the nose there is pungent up front in your face grapefruit, lime, gooseberry, melon, asparagus, flunty notes and minerality.
On the palate are nice grapefruit, lime, white peach, gooseberry, melin, guava and minerality.
This wine is light to medium bodied with a fresh clean fleshy mouthfeel medium + to high acidity that has a long citrus grapefruit finish. I hope everyone's weekend has been an eventful one. Please have a great week ahead and stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂

Dog Point Vineyard combines experience of Ivan and Margaret Sutherland & James and Wendy Healy. Ivan and James met while working at Cloudy Bay Vineyards. Light straw with typical SB aromas adding a touch of floral mineral notes. On the palate flavors of melon and grapefruit with citrus and honeysuckle notes, generous acidity, great mouthfeel with long finish ending with a salty spice character. Exceptional wine!
