Dog Point is an award-winning winery located in the heart of Marlborough. Ivan Sutherland and James Sealy embarked on their own winemaking journey in 2004, taking the skills they’d learnt as viticulturalist and winemaker at Cloudy Bay with them. They had a head start as Ivan had planted vineyards in Marlborough back in the 1970s. Today, Dog Point remains a family-owned winery with an unwavering focus on producing high-quality wines as naturally as possible. Using indigenous yeasts from hand-picked fruit, the wine is then matured for 18 months in French oak casks, using Burgundian methods of bâtonnage (stirring of the lees) and malolactic fermentation to impart a lovely creamy complexity. A great white with salmon or creamy chicken.

"Fresh and bright fruit turns more savory with herbs and spice coming to the forefront. Layered" James Suckling
