Jancis Robinson’s latest Financial Times column featured some of her top white wine recommendations to order from home, including Dog Point Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2019.
Robinson writes, “If it’s searing acidity you crave, then I wholeheartedly recommend a top example of one of the most popular wines in the world, Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Dog Point, a producer established by a couple of key members of the early Cloudy Bay team, makes such good and distinctive Marlborough Sauvignon that even I — not always the greatest fan of these wines — love it.” Concerned that the 2019 vintage isn’t available in your local shop yet? The 2018 is still an outstanding option, as she explains that Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc “is delicious as soon as it is released but unlike most of its peers continues to develop for two or three years in bottle.”

Section 94 is widely regarded as the most distinctive and greatest Sauvignon Blanc being made in New Zealand today. James Healy and Ivan Sutherland were among the first to begin fermenting their Sauvignon in barrel with wild yeasts, a technique that along with the old vines they use, leads to a full-bodied wine that is less fruit-forward, more exotic, and has immense textural complexity.
