Dog Point Section 94 Sauvignon Blanc 2018





Dog Point is one of the oldest privately owned vineyards and best producers of Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough, New Zealand. For those who love Sauvignon Blanc but crave something with a little more depth, the Dog Point Section 94 2018 is a game-changer. Crafted from a single vineyard block planted in 1992, this wine is a bold departure from your typical Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Fermented and aged in old French oak barrels for 18 months, this wine sheds the usual crisp green notes of Sauvignon and instead takes on a beautifully layered character. Expect aromas of citrus, lime and flinty minerality, leading into a rich and textured palate filled with nutty undertones, exotic fruits and a touch of creamy elegance. The finish? Long, structured and undeniably moreish. Further, this wine can age, up to 10 years, adding even more depth to this wine. Produced organically and bottled without fining or filtering, Section 94 is a benchmark for barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc in New Zealand, proving that Marlborough has the potential to create age-worthy, complex wines.

Critic reviews
What the experts say about this wine 👇Fantastic bouquet with a complexity and pungency, a varietal signature of ripe grapefruit and fresh herb, there’s a mineral and smokiness then aromas of peach and cape gooseberry, apple and moments of tropical fruits. On the palate a fine satin texture touches first then flavours of gooseberry and citrus, peach and apple, and a distinctive complexity from barrel fermentation and wild ferment aromas of wild flowers. The backbone of acidity deposits flavours and mineral throughout the palate as well as mouthfeel and youthful tension. Well made, Complex and lengthy. In short a delicious wine and excellent SB expression. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2028+
