$277.00

Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc Section 94 2020 is produced by Dog Point Vineyard in Marlborough from low-yielding estate vines, cropped to just 94 percent of standard production to build concentration and complexity. This is a powerful yet controlled Sauvignon Blanc, opening with aromas of ripe citrus, passionfruit and yellow peach, layered with fennel, fresh herbs and flinty reduction. The palate is medium bodied with impressive weight and structure, combining ripe tropical and stone fruit flavours with taut acidity and a pronounced mineral core. Extended lees ageing adds texture and depth, while subtle oak handling brings savoury complexity without overt wood influence. The finish is long, dry and confidently structured. The 2020 vintage received 95 points from Bob Campbell MW and has been widely recognised for its cellar-worthiness and precision. Dog Point Section 94 Sauvignon Blanc is compelling now and will continue to evolve gracefully over the next five to eight years.

  • “Always a sophisticated and complex sauvignon blanc.” – 96pts James Suckling 
  • “Section 94 is one of Marlborough’s most highly-acclaimed barrel fermented/matured examples of sauvignon blanc.” Bob Campbell MW

About Dog Point Vineyard Wines

Dog Point Vineyard is New Zealand’s largest certified organic vineyard by Biogro NZ. We are family owned and one of the oldest privately established vineyards, located on the hill slopes of the Southern Valleys of Marlborough, New Zealand.

We produce four wines including a sauvignon blanc, and three barrel fermented wines using natural (wild) yeasts including a sauvignon blanc fermented in older French oak barrels (Section 94), a chardonnay and a pinot noir.

Wines are vegan, vegetarian and gluten free reflecting our low interventionist ethos. Our primary focus is producing wines of uncompromising quality that will cellar well.

Dog Point is one of the oldest privately established vineyards in Marlborough with first plantings in the late 1970s. The vineyard is centrally located at the confluence of the smaller brancott and omaka valleys. This location is widely considered to be a very desirable area for grape growing in the southern valleys of Marlborough.

The property is sensitively planted to sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and pinot noir grown under organic principles.

On average our Sauvignon Blanc vines are 25 years old, however the oldest are well over 30 years of age. Section 94, our single vineyard, barrel fermented Sauvignon Blanc vines are 30 years old, and the average vine age for our Chardonnay is 30 years old, with the oldest vines being 40 years old. Our Pinot Noir vines date back to the early 1980s, making some of them approximately 40 years old.
