Certified organic. Brilliant water like colour with a distinctive tinge of green around the fringes. Pronounced herbaceous gooseberry and grapefruit aromas mingle with hints of passionfruit, citrus, grassy asparagus characters and subtle gun flint. An intense fusion of passionfruit, grapefruit, gooseberry and citrus fruits explode across the mouth with a back drop of herbaceous grassy characters, freshly cut asparagus and notions of gun flint. Dry crisp finish with racy acidity leading into a long mouth watering aftertaste.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews…..
Intense, precise sauvignon blanc with grapefruit, citrus, subtle passionfruit and a suggestion of struck flint character. A powerful wine that’s long and linear, with strong varietal definition that’s made more interesting with a hint of reductive character.

Dog Point something of a benchmark wine when it comes to NZ Sauvignon.
It has some richness of tropical fruit, but tang of grapefruit and gooseberry too, slight spice of cut green capsicum, though ripeness of fruit is the main theme. It has intensity and crunchy, a quartz-y texture in with a light creamy silkiness, and the finish is tight, flinty and long, and very passionfruity, leaving just a little smokiness in its wake. Flavour and precision. Seems to be a very good vintage for this wine. Drink 2020-2025.

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. Drink now.

Perhaps the most complex regular Savvy I can recall from Dog Point, the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc offers up aromas that range from subtle notions of garden peas to melon, nectarine and pink grapefruit. It's medium-bodied and silky in texture, generous yet crisp, with a focused, slightly chalky and deliciously lingering finish. Drink 2020-2022.
