Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc
Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc is a standout expression of Marlborough, crafted with hand-harvested, organically grown grapes and fermented using wild yeasts for added depth and complexity. Unlike many Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs, Dog Point emphasizes minerality, structure, and texture, balancing vibrant citrus and tropical fruit with subtle smoky and flinty notes. Crisp acidity and a long, dry finish make it a versatile choice for seafood, goat cheese, and fresh salads.
$29.95/btl - Available through LCBO Vintages.
