“There are some seriously good sauvignons being made in Marlborough’s Southern Valleys. This intense and elegantly textural example with its guava fruit, hints of basil and silky citrus mineral spine is from former Cloudy Bay chief viticulturalist and head winemaker Ivan Sutherland and James Healy’s southern situated Dog Point Vineyard.” –New Zealand Herald
“When you taste this wine, you will be certain that this wine will be perfect with many Japanese dishes. Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc is very smooth, not too much acidity, just the right amount cutting through the palate. It is no surprise that our biggest customer for this wine is the famous Tempura restaurant in Tokyo.—Kenichi Ohasi
