Wild ferment, French oak, super-grand and arresting. Decanter "lovely creaminess... packed full of flavour, intense bacon fat, spice, subtle tropical fruit... elegant style"

Jancisrobinson.com previous vintage 17/20 "Lovely smoky nose... Bags of intense, rich citrus fruit, so pure and deep. Tastes amazing with sushi and soy sauce, brings out the savoury side of the wine, and the delicious mealy, creamy texture"

*THE* New Zealand sauvignon blanc to many people. There's good reason for that - it defined NZSB. Cloudy Bay's flagship wine.

An off-dry Riesling, this is a virtual fruit salad of mandarin, white peaches, crisp apples, lemon blossom, a hint of sherbet and a dollop of honey. Bright, natural acidity balances the subliminal touch of sweetness. This wine has intense aromas of cirtus blossom, apple, white-fleshed nectarine, mandarin and a wild-yeast derived gunflint and lanolin-like savouriness. An invigorating off-dry style that delivers a great balance of natural acidity with a subliminal touch of sweetness.

Pure focused fruit aromas of ripe citrus, white peach, a pleasant fragrance of white blossom. A complex full-bodied style of Sauvignon Blanc with a chalky minerality and fresh herbal influence, complimented by a slightly funky reductive edge. Dog Point's Section 94 is a premium oak-aged Sauvignon Blanc - full-bodied, rich and creamy - a perfect marriage of old world philosophies and new world technologies. Fruit for the Section 94 is sourced from the Wairau Valley sub-region of Marlborough and, unusually for Sauvignon, the wine was aged for 18 months in old French oak barrels give a distinctive character. Dog Point Vineyard is the largest organic Biogro certified vineyard in New Zealand, with practices including turning winery waste a healthy organic compost and collecting leachate to use as fertiliser to help conserve moisture and improve soil structure, plus the planting of buckwheat between the vines to encourage beneficial insects for biological control of insect pests. Over the winter months, sheep are brought onto the property to control grass and weed growth and assist in adding organic matter to the soil.

By Kevin Judd ex-Cloudy Bay head winemaker/co-founder. His top SB, rare and indeed, wild as in unique and funky - indigenous yeast ferment in old oak. Ground-breaking top-end NZSB.

A wild ferment, aged in old French oak.

A textured and savoury wine. It shows fleshy white nectarine and orchard fruit, alongside a flint-focussed precision on the palate, with a grainy and honeyed richness. It shows crystalline purity, with powerful savoury oak, and layered complexity.

Clear, creamy, nutty, silky. Ripe pear, nutmeg. 4.4g/l sugar, but tastes much richer. Winemaker Fiona Turner really is a star.

Such joy from this small 2-family artisan estate. Ex-Cloudy bay winemaker. Only a few quid more than basic 'NZSB' but gosh what an upgrade! Jancis Robinson MW 17/20 "...extra-bright fruit with strong passionfruit aromas and a certain amount of delicacy. Chalky finish. Lots of interest here. Very youthful and energetic indeed. Complimenti!" Parker 92/100 "Perhaps the most complex regular Savvy I can recall from Dog Point… offers up aromas that range from subtle notions of garden peas to melon, nectarine and pink grapefruit. It's medium-bodied and silky in texture, generous yet crisp, with a focused, slightly chalky and deliciously lingering finish."

From a legendary New Zealand producer. Really pleasing nose. Straight up, classical, pure. Slightly smoky, but soft too. Creamy, sweet lemon, slightly pithy on the finish. Clean, simple, and pleasing.

Leaner, more austere on the nose. Very lively on the palate, almost sweet caramelised edge, high acid, good brightness. Very ripe, round, and unctuous. Vanillin finish. Tarte tatin. A bit much at the moment. Puppy fat. Lovely length though. Still plenty of opportunity.

This is a great addition to our New Zealand range - a refreshing, crisp and succulent Albarino from the ever-ebullient winemaker Gordon Russell.

This wine is deep ruby red in colour with vibrant aromas of blackberries, blueberries and strawberry jam. An opulent style of Marlborough Pinot layered with notes of black olives, cedar and lavender. On the palate, it has fine tannins and a smoky and lively finish

Mineral, saline aromas. Quite spicy. A little bit tropical, guava, passionfruit. Melon fruit, juicy, vibrant. Totally different. Very juicy. Textural. Plump but not fat. Bigger boned.

Cool, reserved, crunchy. Lovely with rare lamb, light dishes, summer afternoons.

Deep coloured, the wine exhibits dark ripe fruit characters as well as truffle, spice and subtle toasted oak on the palate. A fulsome, structured and well rounded Pinot Noir with a soft acidity and generous mouthfeel

The nose is complex with aromas of cranberry, raspberry and carraway alongside an earthy spice element. The palate is finely structured with bramble fruit flavours, fine tannins and a savoury finish,

In 2012 Theo Coles discovered the Limestone Hills vineyard in Canterbury in the north of New Zealand’s South Island. Owned by Gareth Renowdon, Theo agreed to make some wine with him from his 1000 or so Pinot Noir vines. Limestone Hills vineyard is naturally farmed, and the first vintage (2012) was that way too — no additions and matured in old oak. Since then Theo has expanded the range to include the skin fermented Sauvignon Blanc and Müller-Thurgau, a field blend rosé and another Pinot Noir. The fruit comes from tiny vineyards throughout the Canterbury region, all naturally farmed without chemicals and Theo is keen to stress that every wine has its own story to tell. We agree and would add that this is some of the most exciting wine to come out of New Zealand for a long time; a turning point for authentic, artisan winemakers in a country so often associated with mass-produced wine. These are wines with personality, depth, complexity and most importantly, drinkability. This Pinot Noir comes from a small close planted vineyard on the Omihi slopes. The soil is predominantly clay with bands of limestone and iron oxide. As the clay is the dominating force through the soil, it brings a richness and flesh to this wine. The use of whole bunches helps to add floral aromatics and length to balance out this richness. The structural elements and aroma gained from using whole bunches in Pinot Noir from North Canterbury also serves to promote longevity in the wine. It’ll make for fascinating drinking over the coming years. This wine has approximately 75% whole bunches in the ferment. It was fermented with indigenous yeasts. It underwent a natural malolactic fermentation. It has no sulphur added until bottling. It is unfined and unfiltered.

Former Cloudy Bay team and grapes. Cool pretty bright, polished, broad mouth-feel. Rhubarb and vermouth! Faultless.

NZ’s, most famous winery. The SB may be a top-seller but this is the star - silky, super-long, faultless. Simply genius winemaking.

2020 was marked by well-balanced vines and stunning fruit. This Crimson has a fragrant nose of dried roses and hay. Fresh thyme and rosemary with spice notes of black cardamon, cinnamon and warm cedar. The palate is wonderfully open and calm, with red fruits gliding through to the finish. This wine is engaging and alluring now and will age gracefully.

Crisp Sauvignon that makes your mouth water as you enjoy its aromas. Tart with citrus fruit in a classic NZ way. Sip on its own or pair with oysters or any other meal that is ocean based.

Mid-yellow in color. The nose shows ripe apricot & nectarine fruit followed by toasty oak. The palate's rounded, ripe apricot fruit initially marries well with vanilla oak. There are attractive notes of lime & lime-flower on the mid-palate, before the oak becomes a little drying. Slight alcohol warmth rounds out the finish, which has a pungent, crisp, lingering grapefruit nature

Mouth watering Sauvignon Blanc, with ripe tropical fruit flavours and a twist of crisp citrus.

Passion fruit and pea shoots mingle easily on the nose of this medium-bodied wine. This is a fully dry and somewhat austere Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, ending on notes of white grapefruit and hints of underripe stone fruit.
