Sourced from estate vineyards planted on clay-rich soils, the fruit benefits from low yields and meticulous vineyard management that prioritises balance and natural expression. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cool coastal climate of Marlborough contributes to slow, even ripening, allowing flavour development while retaining vibrant acidity. In the glass, the wine presents a poised and quietly powerful profile, where citrus and stone fruit are layered with subtle savoury complexity. Wild fermentation and careful élevage in French oak barrels add texture and depth without masking the clarity of fruit. The oak influence is finely judged, offering gentle spice and structure rather than overt richness. This vintage shows a harmonious interplay between freshness and weight, with a mineral backbone that drives length and focus. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDog Point Chardonnay 2023 is a refined, age-worthy expression that speaks clearly of site, craftsmanship and restraint, rewarding both immediate enjoyment and short- to medium-term cellaring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1457\" data-start=\"1440\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1457\" data-start=\"1440\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1467\" data-start=\"1459\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1470\" data-start=\"1467\"\u003e– Citrus and stone fruit purity\u003cbr data-end=\"1504\" data-start=\"1501\"\u003eAromas of lemon zest, white peach and nectarine with hints of struck match, hazelnut and subtle savoury complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1799\" data-start=\"1621\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1631\" data-start=\"1621\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1634\" data-start=\"1631\"\u003e– Structured and mineral\u003cbr data-end=\"1661\" data-start=\"1658\"\u003eBright acidity frames concentrated citrus and stone fruit flavours, supported by fine texture, gentle oak spice and a saline mineral edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1929\" data-start=\"1801\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1811\" data-start=\"1801\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1814\" data-start=\"1811\"\u003e– Long and composed\u003cbr data-end=\"1836\" data-start=\"1833\"\u003eA persistent, mineral-driven finish with lingering citrus, savoury notes and precise balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2176\" data-start=\"1931\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1954\" data-start=\"1931\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1957\" data-start=\"1954\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A finely crafted Chardonnay showing citrus, white peach and subtle nutty complexity.
