Dog Point Section 94 Sauvignon Blanc 2018
The Dog Point Section 94 is an award winning, fuller bodied and textural style of Sauvignon Blanc. This single vineyard parcel is situated within the Dog Point Vineyard, using the same low cropping level from vines planted in 1992. The grapes are hand-picked, whole bunch pressed and fermented and aged in older French oak barrels for 18 months. Bottled without fining. Ripe aromas of grapefruit and lemons with overt white floral characters in the forefront. The hint of struck match aromas characteristic of this wine, reflect the use of solids during fermentation and ageing, adding a dimension of complexity and interest. The palate displays vibrant, varietal Sauvignon qualities, with citrus, racy fresh acidity and after 18 months of ageing on lees, creamy textures and a toasty, nutty finish.
