95 Points - Shanteh Wale
Dog Point Wines has established itself as one of New Zealand's leading wineries, with their Sauvignon Blanc consistently rated among the nation's finest. Certified organic, the 2023 Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc delivers the vibrancy, balance and underlying complexity that have long been associated with this benchmark Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
The 2023 Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc opens with lifted aromatics of grapefruit and white peach, the palate is juicy with intense citrus and tropical fruit (melon and guava) flavours. A beautifully balanced and refined Sauvignon Blanc, this will only enhance the reputation of this Marlborough producer.
"95 Points. If you’d like to taste Sauvignon Blanc in its modern day glory, look no further. The Marlborough sunshine and pinpoint precision in the vineyard and winery is all found here. Sourced from estate fruit in the Wairau Valley you’ll find star fruit, passion blossom, juicy pineapple and guava. The abundance of fruit continues on the palate with an electric line of acidity and sea spray finish. The dryness of the wine takes elegance to another dimension. Sith purity and drive, this is a triumph of a vintage and its magic is captured in the bottle. Drink now with raw scallop ceviche."- Shanteh Wale, winepilot.com.
