Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc 2023 750ml

Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc 2023 750ml 

Pale straw colour in the glass. Pure, citrus-driven Sauvignon with subtle, riper tones of pear and white peach reflecting the warm and dry growing season. The palate bursts with fresh grapefruit and meyer lemons with juicy flavours and generous concentration and refreshing acidity. Drinks beautifully now or can comfortably be cellared for five years or more.

A warm growing season with very dry conditions between January and April with only 45mm falling (less than 30% of the average). A season that will be remembered for other reasons, however, with a global pandemic affecting staffing movements and logistics but one where calm decision making and patience resulted in perfect ripening conditions, and a very rewarding season. One of the best the region has experienced in recent years.

Handpicked fruit is whole bunch pressed and cold settled before fermentation. A portion of this wine is fermented using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for 4 months in stainless steel tanks then bottled without fining.

Alc: 13.5%
