After working together at Cloudy Bay, Ivan Sutherland (Viticulturist) and James Healy (Oenologist) decided to establish their own wine label, Dog Point Vineyard, together with their partner's Margaret Sutherland and Wendy Healy. Dog Point Vineyard's first vintage was in 2002. Dog Point is the area European settlers named the tussock and scrub covered hill overlooking the Wairau Valley.
Colour: Pale straw in colour. Aroma: A more restrained Section 94 resulting from earlier harvest dates. Fresh lemon and oatmeal aromas upfront leading to toasty and biscuit notes. In the background, aromas of honey, citrus blossoms and jasmine flowers linger. Palate: Fresh and brisk across the palate, the wine is youthful and energetic upfront before the complexities and rounded textures of extended barrel maturation present themselves. The finish is complex, with citrus, saline and toasty flavours lingering. Cellaring Drinks beautifully now or can be cellared for 10+ years.
