Wine Spectator’s recent tasting highlight focusing on New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs recognizes Dog Point Vineyards as a “standout for its quality.” The 2019 vintage was a stellar year, characterized by warmer and drier conditions than the previous two years, allowing for ripe fruit with gorgeous tropical character.
The 2019 Dog Point Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc received 92 Points, the highest score of the lot, and a rave review: “Mouthwatering and vivid, with a laser beam of focus and intensity to the Meyer lemon, ruby grapefruit and dried mango flavors. Peppery white flower aromas and a touch of freshly grated ginger add complexity.”
