New Zealand’s finest: Sauvignon Blanc and beyond, with Dog Point – Friday 24th May
When you think of New Zealand, you think of Sauvignon Blanc. And when you think of Sauvignon Blanc, you think of Marlborough. And when you think of Marlborough, you think of Dog Point.
Dog Point was established in 2002 by Ivan & Margaret Sutherland – who remain the owners – and James and Wendy Healy, after Ivan and James made the wines together at Cloudy Bay. Today, however, Dog Point is about much more than New Zealand’s signature variety, and has established a reputation as one of the country’s most acclaimed producers, following a rigorous regime of organic, low-cropping, high-quality viticulture.
It makes two Sauvignons – a classic, aromatic, fruit-driven, tank-fermented rendering, and the idiosyncratic whole-bunch, oak-fermented, wild-yeast-driven Section 94, from a single vineyard. And while the Chardonnay’s smoky, minerally edge is also widely lauded, it is arguably the dense, savoury, spicy Pinot Noir that is most notable, with ageability a key factor. We’ll be guided through four vintages spanning the last decade by Matt Sutherland, son to Ivan and Margaret, who grew up on the property and is now general manager.
Join us for the perfect Friday night to ease into the weekend…
