Dog Point Vineyard

Marlborough

James Healy and Ivan Sutherland left Cloudy Bay in 2003 after many years service as winemaker and vineyard manager respectively, to make wine from Ivan’s Dog Point Vineyard.

The name Dog Point is derived from the scrub covered hill, overlooking the Wairau Plains, designated by the early European settlers as a place where shepherds’ dogs who had got lost, or wandered off, took refuge. They bred into a marauding pack which then attacked local flocks of sheep. Dog Point is also home to the unusual looking tree depicted on their wine labels and adopted as part of the estates logo. This is one of New Zealand’s cultural treasures the ‘ti kouka’, commonly known as the cabbage tree, an attractive, distinctive and hardy plant, native to New Zealand.

Fruit for the wines is sourced from selected vineyard plantings dating back to the late 1970's. These older well-established vines combined with low yields, hand harvesting, natural yeasts, lots of lees contact and a generally ‘low-tech’ approach are the key to the rapid success of these wines.

If you visit their website here; Dog Point Vineyards you will be able to gain a greater insight into the philosophy behind the wines and also read some of the reviews these magnificent wines have received from a worldwide audience.
