2022 Dog Point Chardonnay 750ml

Origin and Winemaking

Sourced from mature vines in Marlborough, New Zealand, the 2022 Dog Point Chardonnay reflects the region’s cool climate and the estate’s dedication to organic viticulture. Hand-picked fruit is whole-bunch pressed and naturally fermented with wild yeasts in French oak barrels, followed by 18 months of maturation on lees for added complexity.

Tasting Profile

Pale straw in appearance with a bright golden hue. The nose reveals aromas of grapefruit, lemon curd, white peach, toasted almond, flint, and a touch of nutmeg. On the palate, it offers a fine balance between richness and restraint. Citrus and stone fruits are supported by creamy textures, subtle oak, and a crisp mineral backbone. The finish is long, refreshing, and beautifully layered.

Style and Character

Elegant and expressive, this Chardonnay is both structured and vibrant. Its focused acidity and subtle barrel influence make it a standout for lovers of refined cool-climate whites.

Food Pairing

Ideal with grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta, or soft cheeses. Serve lightly chilled for maximum enjoyment.

Cellaring Potential

Drinking beautifully now but will develop further complexity with 3 to 5 years in the cellar.
