Dog Point Marlborough Chardonnay 2019
- Toasty oak
- White peach & citrus
- Toasted nut
- Vibrant acidity
"Seductive Chardonnay with white peach, citrus, grapefruit, oyster-shell and subtle spicy oak underpinned by delicious acidity. Intense wine with a lengthy finish. A little bottle age would do it no harm" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2021
"Full, bright yellow colour, with a powerful bouquet of smoky-toasty oak and reductive characters. Smoked-chicken springs to mind. It's full-bodied and rich, in-your-face and shot through with vibrant acidity. Long aftertaste. A concentrated wine which has cellaring potential" Huon Hooke, Real Review, Nov 2021
Deep straw in colour. A complex array of toasted nuts, lees and smokey tones overlay a pure citrus backbone. Crisp and pure. The vibrant acidity offers lively structure to the wine with a dense, citrus pith texture and fine finish.
Marlborough home vineyards on clay hill slopes and surrounding foothills. 5.2 tonnes/hectare. Vines are 26 years old on average. Some plantings dating back to 1981. Harvested 7th – 25th March 2019.
A mild spring free of frosts was followed by a cool flowering period in December, which lead to tempered yields for much of the region. This was followed by an extremely dry and warm summer with only 10% of our typical rainfall for the months of January and February. A welcomed burst of rain fell during March, giving vitality to the vines, enabling a healthy and relaxed end to the growing season in early April. One of our earliest harvest completion dates, with all sauvignon being picked by the 4th of April.
Hand picked and gently pressed straight to barrel (10% new) for eighteen months. No juice clarification with 100% wild primary and secondary fermentations. Bottled without fining and with only minimal filtration.
