Located in Marlborough, New Zealand's premium wine growing region, Dog Point Vineyards produce wines that respect the natural integrity of the land from which they are made and reflect the experience and passion of the people that make them.

Dog Point vineyards are certified organic under the BioGro New Zealand Programme which is an independent certification process established to promote environmentally friendly, sustainable and responsible practices. These organic philosophies drive their approach to wine making and help ensure the vines are at their best for next year's harvest.

A pure, bright and youthful citrus driven Chardonnay with complex smoky, flint, toast and biscuit notes derived from extended barrel ageing on full solids. The hallmarks of Dog Point Chardonnay are ever present here with pure saline and crisp palate structure. This vintage will have the ability to age well.

2/3 Mendoza, 1/3 B95 clones hand-picked from their home vineyard at 5 tonnes/ha (30hl/ha), from vines dating back to 1981. Fruit is whole bunch pressed and transferred directly to French oak barrels (10% new) and left to undergo indigenous primary and secondary malolactic fermentations for 18 months in barrel. Bottled without fining and with only minimal filtration.

Food match: Scallops, white fish and barbeque pork.

Cellaring: Five to seven years.
