Dog Point Pinot Noir 2014
Dog Point Pinot Noir 2014 is a beautifully aged Marlborough Pinot, crafted with organic, hand-harvested grapes and fermented using wild yeast. Aged for 18 months in 50% new French oak, it has developed layers of dark cherry, plum, and dried herbs, with earthy undertones and a touch of smokiness. Now at its peak, it offers silky tannins and refined structure, making it an excellent choice for Pinot Noir lovers. With limited availability, this vintage won’t be around for long.
$82/btl - Available through Vintages Online Shop.
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.
