      Dog Point is widely regarded as one of Marlborough’s premier wine producers, and the Dog Point Pinot Noir 2021 is a classic showcase of their commitment to quality, terroir-driven winemaking, and organic farming practices. With an unwavering focus on low cropping and precise vineyard management, Dog Point has earned its place among New Zealand’s most respected wineries.

      Crafted from a blend of six different clones planted on vines over 30 years old, this Pinot Noir represents the perfect marriage of tradition and innovation. Hand-harvested and meticulously sorted, the fruit includes 25% whole bunches and undergoes fermentation in small stainless-steel open-top fermenters using indigenous yeasts. After fermentation, the wine is matured for 18 months in French oak barrels (30% new), allowing it to develop the depth and complexity that Dog Point is renowned for.

      The result is a Pinot Noir that exudes power and concentration while maintaining a remarkably supple structure. A wine that will continue to evolve beautifully in the bottle for years to come.

      Dog Point Pinot Noir 2021

      A bit of toasty char, dried herbs, carob and coffee grounds, dried roses and dark cherry. Powerful, dark cherry, damp earthy coffee slightly bitter things, tight ripe sooty tannin, sappy acidity, and a firm, long and peppery finish. Intense, but good. No shortage of character. -

      — Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, 30 September, 2021, 94 Points

      Intense, appealing pinot noir with subtle floral aromas together with concentrated red berry, dark chocolate, liquorice, wood smoke and spicy oak flavours. Powerful wine with obvious cellaring potential.

      Dog Point

      Dog Point Vineyard is one of Marlborough’s oldest and most respected privately owned wineries, founded by Ivan and Margaret Sutherland in the late 1970s. As pioneers in the region, they helped shape the evolution of the Marlborough wine industry, with the Dog Point label officially launching in 2004. Today, the vineyard remains family-owned, with the next generation continuing the tradition of producing wines with uncompromising quality and attention to detail.

      The vineyard is New Zealand’s largest certified organic vineyard, producing wines that reflect the pristine environment of Marlborough. Dog Point’s wines are made with minimal intervention, using wild yeasts and a philosophy focused on authenticity, balance, and the natural expression of the land. This commitment to organic viticulture and low intervention winemaking allows their wines to shine with purity and complexity, making each bottle a true representation of the Dog Point estate.
