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 pure, bright and youthful citrus driven chardonnay with complex smokey, flint, toast and biscuit notes derived from extended barrel aging on full solids. Palate:A strong year for Chardonnay delivered vibrant, lively acidity. The palate is focussed and restrained which unfurls on the finish and exposes the intense citrus core with underlying cashew, nutty flavours. Cellaring Seven to ten years.
