Dog Point has long been one of the leading names in Southern Hemisphere Sauvignon Blanc, but their 2025 vintage is something special. This is a wine that deserves every bit of its reputation.
The accolades are remarkable. James Halliday, the leading reviewer of wines of the Southern Hemisphere, awarded this wine 97 points. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave it 94 points and Wine Spectator loved it too, rating it 93 points. These are extraordinary scores for a Sauvignon Blanc, and having tasted it myself, I can tell you the wine lives up to the hype, and it's also a stellar value.
We have it on sale currently for $21.99/bottle, one of the best prices in the country.
That is over 20% off, and this does not qualify for further discounts.
Founded by James Healy and Ivan Sutherland, two of the key figures behind Cloudy Bay's early success, Dog Point remains family-run, with some of New Zealand's oldest Sauvignon Blanc vines and a deep commitment to clean farming.
What sets this apart is its complexity and restraint. Aromas of flint, crushed seashells, lemon zest, green herbs, and white peach lead into a palate that is intensely flavored yet seamless, with a long, mineral-driven finish. Many Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs follow a familiar formula, but Dog Point operates on a different level. This is WORLD CLASS STUFF!
Dog Point is the genuine article. It's one of the most distinctive Sauvignon Blancs coming out of New Zealand, and the combination of old vines, thoughtful farming, and exceptional winemaking makes this a bottle worth seeking out.
Drink it now or lay a few bottles down. This wine has the structure to reward patience.
