Almost since its inception, Dog Point has been recognized as among the very top, arguably the very top wine producers in New Zealand. Dog Point�s focus on pruning, soil health through organic farming, use of native yeasts and for one wine selected neutral commercial yeasts, all point to a quality and detail-obsessed producer intimately familiar with its region.�A bright perfumed, supple expression of Marlborough Pinot Noir from clay hill slopes.�The fruit is supported by bright florals of rose and violets with crunchy red berry fruit and dried herb notes. The palate�is succulent with alluring red cherry, brown spices and silky fine boned tannins. This wine has all the makings of a long lived Marlborough pinot noir�and matches perfectly with duck, red meats, particularly venison and lamb, and mushroom dishes.
