"Excellent, delicious, exquisite, a real treat... the reviews are rave!"
"The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc offers a distinct nose of freshly picked curry leaves, crushed shellfish, lemon zest, asphalt, mustard seeds, dried cilantro, and white-fleshed orchard fruits. This wine is powerfully fruity, full of energy and vibrancy, and, as one might expect, exquisite to drink. It is a very intelligent and flavorful wine. 13.5% alcohol, screw cap. 2024–2034” (Wine Advocate 2024) • Screw cap

A piercing nose and a very delicate palate. A true delight! A finish with a chalky texture. 2025–2033

About the wine:
It’s excellent, as always, paired with flint, sliced lemons, and fresh green melon. A bit of Thai basil as well. Medium-bodied, with lively acidity and plenty of fruit on the finish, yet with concentration and structure. Made from organically grown grapes. Ready to drink now. Screw cap.

About the wine:
A clothesline laden with fresh laundry, spring daisies, and gently swaying buffalo grass. It features notes of lemon posset, limestone, chalk, and grapefruit peel. Aromas of citrus and white stone fruits take center stage on the mid-palate, with an enticing fruity sweetness and an acidity that is both lively and well-balanced. It is quite simply an exceptional white wine—period. Complex, nuanced, and irresistible in every sense of the word. Close your eyes and soak in these lovely aromas, taste the dry, sandy mineral notes, appreciate the length and quality on the palate, and you’ll know you’re drinking nothing but a Dog Point from their prestigious Wairau vineyards in Marlborough. The creamy, savory notes further enhance its complexity and finesse. It’s a global benchmark for Sauvignon Blanc.

About the wine:
An excellent bouquet and palate with aromas and flavors of citrus and nettles, fresh sage and grapefruit, apple, and hints of green passion fruit and fresh lychee. The wine is dry and crisp, with a good mouthfeel, mineral notes, and freshness. A brief period on the lees adds to the texture and length. Delicious, fresh, balanced, and well-crafted. Best enjoyed from the day of purchase through 2029.

Review by Mr. MATHIEU W. Published on 12/25/2025
Light straw-yellow color. Nose: boxwood, gooseberry, green apple, honey, fresh linens, floral notes, and fermenting fruit/vegetables. On the palate, a delightful attack of juicy and plump green apple, a hint of sweetness, and delicate acidity that immediately brings everything into balance. In addition, green notes, minerality, crisp freshness, body, depth, sophistication, and length. Beautiful, this Dog Point. Sauvignon Blanc isn’t usually really my thing, but this one fits into the now-long list of exceptions… or maybe my taste is changing! Score: 17/20

Review by Mr. GILLES D. Published on September 22, 2025
A youthful Marlborough with a fresh, refined attack, followed by a mid-palate that’s just as mouthwatering, yet dense and highly expressive, with sparkling flavors evoking citrus and tropical fruits, dusted with a hint of herbaceous notes. Beautiful, airy length with mineral notes. A short period of aging would not be out of place. Tasted with a salad of shrimp, pink grapefruit, and avocado, spiced with a pinch of Espelette pepper. Rating = 4.2.
