Meet Dog Point – an outstanding, award winning range of wines from New Zealand’s Marlborough region. In 2004 Ivan Sutherland and James Sealy decided to take the skills they’d learnt as viticulturalist and winemaker at Cloudy Bay and set up on their own. They had a head start as Ivan had planted vineyards in Marlborough back in the 1970s. Dog Point is now one of the region’s top producers. James Suckling has written: “This really takes Sauvignon to another place for Marlborough, exposing the edgy, exciting and minerally possibilities whilst embracing the rampant intensity of fruit.” Using hand picked grapes, part fermented with wild yeasts, the wine is meticulously made and expressive of the varietal as well as the Wairau Valley terroir.
