ADD TO FAVOURITES

Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc always offers something a bit more than the vast majority of Marlborough Sauvignons. There is an extra level of complexity and flavour interest that takes the variety to a different level. This is revealed in the layers of juicy fruit and mouthfilling quality. From a very good 2025 vintage, this is a standout wine.

Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"Restrained elderflower florals with grapefruit, white peach and pears, followed by underlying complex smoky-flint notes. Lovely saline acidity and bright citrus fruit characters burst on the palate, offering refreshment from the first sip. Fruit sweetness compliments and balances the acid backbone, finishing dry with fine phenolics intertwined with the acidity.

Fruit is hand picked and whole bunch pressed prior to cold settling then fermentation using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for 5 months in stainless steel tanks then bottled without fining."

94/100 Erin Larkin, RobertParker.com, Wine Advocate, June 2026 (2025 Vintage)
"The 2025 Sauvignon Blanc is textural and salty, savoury and complex. I love this wine for its tether to place, but its elevation beyond it. It isn't overt in its styling, nor pungent in its aromas; it is classy—a sophisticated showing of the best attributes of the variety."

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, December 2025 (2025 Vintage)
"Taut, new, pure fruited, ripe and salivating with aromas and flavours of grapefruit and lime, white peach and hay. A dry wine on the palate with a backbone of acidity engaging the palate and sending a flourish of flavours throughout. There’s a light fine lees quality, saline quality and lengthy vibrant finish. Best drinking from mid to late 2026 through 2032+."

92/100 Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review (2025 Vintage)
"Zingy with salty lightness and a flinty edge, this rather delicate style inhabits a middle ground with floral notes and cloudy apple juice flavours rather than anything overtly herbaceous. Subtly long and zingy, the length is currently interrupted by some harder chalky phenolics and flinty reduction, but it will settle somewhat with time in bottle."

17/20 Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, April 2026 (2025 Vintage)
"Real wine! Lots of depth to the salty, mineral fruit and a long, clean finish. No evidence of added sugar. This is one of the Marlborough Sauvignons I would drink with real pleasure. Clean as a whistle."

92/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, August 2026 (2025 Vintage)
"This rips along at pace. Lithe, tight, racy, crisp. All the expected hallmark characters from Marlborough sauvignon blanc but strapped down, restrained, refreshment over more overt things. In that, great success, and a trim and taut expression that delivers a little quiet pedigree. A summery delight."
