Medium contributor Tony Bowles included Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc 2019 in a comprehensive roundup of summer essentials covering travel, dining, cocktails and more.
As peak summer season approaches with temperatures nearing triple digits, a refreshing glass of Sauvignon Blanc sounds pretty good. The writer adds, “Dog Point wines are hand-crafted (and handpicked) from estate fruit grown on some of the oldest vines and best sites in Marlborough, New Zealand — some plantings dating back to the 1970s.”
Continuing, he says, “Dog Point’s focus on soil health through organic farming, use of native yeasts, pruning and a non-interventionist style of winemaking all point to a quality and detail-obsessed producer intimately familiar with its iconic region. In the warmer weeks ahead, enjoy this great wine that is perfect for summer sipping at under $30.” Read the full story HERE
