Enjoy it now, or cellar for a few more years. No need to decant before serving. Pure notes of citrus fruit, white flowers, stone fruit and chalky minerality waft from the nose of this dry white wine. It is an oak-aged Sauvignon Blanc, influenced by the elegant French style, but shaped by the New Zealand climate. The fruits were sourced from Wairau Valley in Marlborough - New Zealand’s premier wine-making region. Dog Point is a young winery, but has already become the largest organic-certified winery in New Zealand. It is family-owned, being founded by Marlborough wine pioneers Ivan and Margaret Sutherland. While working at the nearby Cloudy Bay Winery, Ivan met esteemed winemaker James Healey, who has been involved with the business since the very start. They chose Marlborough because it’s the place they know the best, and home to the sunniest and driest climate in the country - perfect for the production of crisp white wine. The Section 94 Sauvignon Blanc is a creamy, full-bodied wine, with strong notes of tropical fruits, fragrant herbs and minerality. The wood influence is prominent, after 18 months of ageing in French oak barrels, but the wine retains a delightfully fresh character. It is a thirst-quenching wine, with a long finish. Drink it in its youth, alongside white fish, herb-loaded sauces, or chicken.
