Dog Point Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2011, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand




This wine is 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes, maturation taking place in stainless steel only (no oak) and alcohol coming in at 13.5%

Greeny straw in color, this Sauvignon Blanc opens up with aromas of gooseberry, white grapefruit, passion fruit, flinty and mineral notes. On the mouthfeel, medium bodied, intense tangy, zesty fruit, light tropical fruit flavours and lively acidity. This wines finish is long, refreshing with bright flavours lingering. This is a textbook Sauvignon Blanc made to be enjoyed at the table paired with white meat or seafood. A very enjoyable wine, score 90 points.

Purchased September 29, 2012 LCBO Vintages New Release (677450) at $21.95
