Heiner Lobenberg über:
Sauvignon Blanc 2023

93

Lobenberg: Ein Standard Sauvignon Blanc mit Stachelbeere und Gras ist in meinen Augen langweilig. Und genau darum bin ich so begeistert vom Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc. So geht Sauvignon Blanc. Saftig mit frischer Säure, gefolgt von einer weichen und runden Textur. Passionsfrucht, Limette und duftige Melone, begleitet von getrockneten Kräutern. Das ist eine Art weißer Burgunder von der Loire mit einer sagenhaften und cremigen, frischen Finesse. 93/100

Wine Spectator über: Sauvignon Blanc

-- Wine Spectator: Lush and expressive, with plenty of concentration to the mix of mango, lemon curd and litsea oil flavors. Details of dried pineapple, candied ginger and crystalized orange zest add complexity and aromatics on the long finish. Drink now. 35,000 cases made, 8,000 cases imported.

Parker über: Sauvignon Blanc

-- Parker: The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is flinty and gray scale on the nose, with graphite, asphalt, white paper, preserved lemon rind and dried sage. In the mouth, the tropical fruit continues to be kept at bay, while the aroma notes continue through the length of the palate. this is a classy wine, all elegance and restraint. It's very different from the 2024—what I would classify as 'more classical'—tasted alongside. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Galloni über: Sauvignon Blanc

-- Galloni: Initially the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc needs a few moments to get itself together – much like we all do after waking up from our slumber. It wears a rather reductive overcoat, but under that flintiness you find concentrated, pure fruit flavors. It’s light in body but dense in concentration thanks to low yields, displaying both focus and punch. It's almost silvery in color and restrained thanks to hand-picking, leading to pure grapefruit and passion fruit flavors alongside a hint of nectarine. The finish is long, precise and sinewy. 93/100

Suckling über: Sauvignon Blanc

-- Suckling: Clean and crisp with grapefruit, green melon and lemon character. Hints of stones. Medium body. Lovely acidity and a delicious finish. Some phenolic tension here. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap. 92/100

Jancis Robinson über: Sauvignon Blanc

-- Jancis Robinson: Intensely aromatic and characteristically smoky, with marked reduction, a style that Dog Point have mastered so brilliantly. That smokiness is notable yet not excessive even if it is highly stylised. Behind the struck match is vibrant grapefruit and pear, immense depth and remarkable complexity for a young, unoaked white. Chewy texture and low pH make this a mouth-watering and persistent dry wine that is obviously Sauvignon Blanc but not just Sauvignon Blanc, and with better likely ageing capacity than most NZ SBs. Excellent purity and precision. I find this unspittable and feel sure it will be even better after another year in bottle. 17,5/20

Mein Winzer

Dog Point

Qualitativ gesehen ist Dog Point ganz klar der Superstar aus Marlborough! Keiner der viel größeren Nachbarn schafft es, die europäisch ausgelegte Stilistik auch nur annähernd so genial herauszuarbeiten.
