If only all Marlborough wines could be more like Dog Point. All the vines are grown within a spit of the house on the very carefully chosen terroir. Most of the big Marlborough brands - whether large or famous - get their fruit from random farmers scattered across the entire region. Most of them use specially developed yeasts and enzymes to obtain that distinctive NZ taste profile. At Dog Point, however, none of that applies, with natural yeasts to the fore, additives disdained and viticulture either certified organic or in conversion. These wines are exceptionally well made and definitely not to a recipe. Ivan Sutherland and James Healy, having run one of the region's behemoths, have no desire to be involved in another. /CW
