Product Description:
An elegant and site-driven Pinot Noir from Marlborough’s clay-rich hills. The Dog Point Pinot Noir 2023 comes from long-established vines on steep clay hill slopes, where organic viticulture and careful hand-harvesting shape a wine of vivid fruit and structural finesse. Fermented with native yeasts, including around 25 per cent whole clusters, and matured for 18 months in French oak (about 30% new), it reflects Dog Point’s philosophy of restraint and terroir first. The result is a deep ruby wine with red cherry fruit, floral notes and a warm herbal-spice complexity – fresh yet layered, with fine-grained tannins and a long, mouth-watering finish.

Reviews & Accolades
“Dog Point delivers a refined Marlborough Pinot with pretty florals, red-cherry intensity and a whisper of spice. Supple tannins and a long, savoury finish make this beautifully structured.” — James Suckling, 93 points
