🌟 A bold yet refined Marlborough Chardonnay—vibrant, textural, and beautifully flinty.
👁 In the Glass:
Pale straw with green glints—bright and youthful.
👃 On the Nose:
Complex and expressive, with ripe citrus, white peach, and lemon curd. Biscuit, oatmeal, and struck flint aromas mingle with hints of toasted oak and wet stone.
👅 On the Palate:
Focused and lively, with intense citrus fruit framed by fresh acidity and chalky texture. Subtle charred oak and phenolic grip provide structure, while the finish is long, savoury, and mouthwatering.
🍽 Food Pairing:
Ideal with roasted chicken, crayfish in lemon butter, grilled corn with parmesan, or creamy mushroom risotto. Also excellent with aged cheeses or crab cakes.
⏳ Ageing Potential:
Delicious now for its vibrancy, yet will age gracefully for 6–10 years, gaining richness and complexity.
✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Dog Point Chardonnay is a benchmark New Zealand white—powerfully flavoured, finely structured, and true to site. A wine that fuses ripe fruit with flinty precision and the elegance of cool-climate winemaking.
