Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand

Winemaker Notes

Pale straw. A pure expression of Dog Point Sauvignon with lifted aromatics of granny smith apple, and lemon rind as well as floral tones of orange blossoms and elderflower burst from the glass. Bright citrus flavors from an elegant year, followed by saline acidity washing across the palate, leaving subtle tropical tones unfurling on the finish.

Wine Advocate – 94 Points

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc has such a maritime nose of ocean spray, beeswax, saltbush and wet rocks, but it’s also steely; there’s graphite and pencil shavings. What a joy. In the mouth, the wine floods every available square millimeter with flavor. This is elegant, saturated with fruit flavor and textural too. Super wine. This is a classy estate growing organic fruit (the largest organic grower in New Zealand) and responsible for wines that drink well now and cellar well too.

Food Pairing

Pairs well with shellfish, particularly mussels and oysters, as well as white meats and soft cheeses.
