Dog Point Vineyard owns the distinction of being the biggest organic, Biogro-certified vineyard in the entire country of New Zealand. Located in the country’s wine-rich region of Marlborough, Dog Point is also one of New Zealand’s oldest privately-owned vineyards. This vineyard witnessed its first plantings in the late 1970s.
The vineyard’s strategic location (at the meeting point of the Brancott and Omaka Valleys) plays a vital role in the high-quality wines it produces. Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the main grape varietals grown here. Thanks to the silty clay loamy soils and the micro-climatic conditions (the trademark feature of Marlborough), this region produces grapes that take a long time to ripen naturally. This leads to the high-aromatic content of the fruits. Tasting Note
A bright perfumed, supple expression of Marlborough pinot noir from clay hill slopes. The fruit is supported by dried herb and characteristic brown spice notes and complex smokiness. The palate has a dense core of juicy fruit and bold, fine grained, ripe tannins
