Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc 2004
Dog Point Vineyard was featured in the May, 2004 newsletter as a projected future star. To re-cap: “James Healey as winemaker and Ivan Sutherland as viticulturist. Both men were stalwarts in the team that established Cloudy Bay as an Icon; Quality should be high right from the start with grapes coming from Mr Sutherland’s large, established vineyard. Dog Point has been featured for years with Goldwater Estate’s Sauvignon Blanc. The wine list features Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir ad Section 954 ‘Sauvignon grapes with a difference’ – select grapes with extended lees contact in older oak barrels.”
2004 Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc
An elegant, classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Pale yellow in color with a pleasant citrus notes on the palate; smooth all the way through to a moderate length, clean finish. A well crafted, flavourful wine.
