Description
Dog Point’s 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is a reminder that Marlborough can still surprise you – especially in the hands of a producer like this.
Sourced from eight organically farmed vineyards in the Wairau Valley, the fruit was whole bunch pressed and left to ferment in stainless steel, with a portion going wild to bring a little extra texture and detail. No fining, no fluff – just smart, clear-eyed winemaking that’s all about purity and precision.
This year’s release is especially layered. It opens with bright citrus, chalk and stone fruit, then moves into a more savoury, mineral-driven zone – there’s a gentle creamy note in the background, too, but nothing overdone. The palate is punchy but beautifully controlled, with mouthwatering acidity and a salty snap to finish.
It’s not Sauvignon trying to be anything else – just the variety at full stretch, handled with care and confidence. Drink it with oysters, or just enjoy it for what it is: one of the finest white wines in the country.

"A washing line of fresh linen, spring daisies and gently waving buffalo grass... This is a global benchmark for sauvignon blanc."
