Dog Point Section 94 Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Singled out as a unique part of a single vineyard that some regard as the finest Sauvignon Blanc vineyard in NZ, Section 94 is a special piece of earth.  The fruit from the 30 year old vines handles the maturation time in seasoned French Oak, the integration is seamless.  A bucket list experience in Sauvignon Blanc if there ever was one, beautiful with Kingfish and Salmon.

In their words -  A complex alternative full bodied style of Sauvignon Blanc with a chalky minerality and fresh herbal influence, complimented by a vibrant acidity which gives the wine focus. Suggested food matches for Section 94 include fish (particularly salmon), poultry and soft white cheeses. 

This single vineyard parcel is situated within the Dog Point Vineyard, using the same low cropping level from vines planted in 1992. Fruit is hand-picked, whole bunch pressed and fermented and aged in older French oak barrels for 18 months. Bottled without fining.
