2021 Dog Point Vineyard Section 94 Sauvignon Blanc

A complex rendition of Sauvignon Blanc that’s concentrated and textural voluminous.

Aged and fermented in older French oak barrels for 18 months. Brilliant pale straw to straw colour with gleaming green tinged edges and a watery hue. Lifted herbaceous gooseberry, grapefruit and citrus aromas mix with some grassy asparagus, pencil shaving and gun flint notes.
Concentrated and textural voluminous, mouth filling gooseberry, citrus, grapefruit and herbaceous grassy flavours are underscored by racy acidity. Lending further nuance across the back half are notions of pencil shavings, asparagus and infusions of gun flint. Superb drive concluding long and fresh yet shapely.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 14%

Other Reviews……
Hand harvested, whole-bunch pressed and aged for 18 months in seasoned French oak. This is a wine that consistently delivers, while ageing at a glacial rate, almost beyond belief. At five years, this is showing Meyer lemon, cantaloupe and Alphonse mango skin. Mock orange blossoms, honeysuckle and struck sandstone flint. The palate curls into creamy candlenut and oatmeal, then circles back to its citrus and tropical fruit core. It's languid and slightly oily, persistent and long. A wine for rewiring your brain and taste buds on what great sauvignon can do. Drink by 2035.

This is a beautiful and complex wine with sliced apples, lemons, bread dough and salted pie crust. Some grass. Always subtle and complex yet shows intensity. Medium body. Lovely acid balance and an excellent finish. White pepper. Dry. Always excellent. Drink now. Screw cap.
