Dog Point Vineyard
Sauvignon Blanc
Dog Point is a benchmark for what Sauvignon Blanc coming from Marlborough should taste like. They have a commitment to hand picking whole bunches of grapes and gently pressing before fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged in stainless steel to help it retain freshness and purity of flavor. They go a step further by not fining (part of the final stages of making wine) the wine! Their commitment to making wine this way is laudable, and for the price point will give you a great view into New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc flavors. This vintage is particularly bright and fresh and is driven by citrus and melon notes.
NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive wine and is not eligible for discounts, member pricing, or member guarantee. Limited Availability.

WINE REGION:
![Outline of Marlborough](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/1846/normal/New_Zealand_Marlborough.png?1693347418)
Marlborough
New Zealand's Marlborough region is arguably its most important, a name synonymous with the country's distinctive world-class Sauvignon Blancs. Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc—with its tropical fruit, gooseberry and herbaceous notes—is one of a kind. And it is all thanks to Marlborough's terroir: a large, gravelly river valley inland of Cloudy Bay at the northeast tip of the South Island, it enjoys long, warm, maritime-influenced summers. But Marlborough isn't only about Sauvignon Blanc. The region also produces exceptional Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, sparkling wine and both dry and sweet Riesling.

Red Apple
Bright, fresh, citrus-driven Sauvignon Blanc, with elements of honeydew melon, pears, and gala apples in the background. A very pure, yet restrained, classic Sauvignon Blanc expression. The citrus core of flavors is juicy and intense. Deliciously refreshing saline acidity and mellow rounded texture on the finish.
