Dog Point Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc White Wine

Dog Point Vineyard says its first vines went into the ground in the late 1970s, planted by Ivan and Margaret Sutherland, and that the estate has stayed family owned ever since.

The producer also says it is now New Zealand's largest certified organic vineyard under BioGro, and that Ivan and Margaret Sutherland planted their first vines in Marlborough, New Zealand, though we do not have a confirmed region on record for this particular bottle.

This wine is made from Sauvignon Blanc. Our grape research describes it as known for clear aroma and refreshing acidity, usually made as a dry white, and official regional guides point to citrus, green herbs and gooseberry as common notes across the category. In our September 2026 checks, the lowest price we saw for this bottle was $22.99.

The highest price we saw in that same September 2026 round was $29.99. Ratings across the wines we track sit at a 4.71 median; we do not have a shopper rating for this bottle. If a shopper wants an organic claim, the producer says its vineyard is certified organic under BioGro, though that is a statement about the vineyard rather than a confirmed certification for this particular bottle. The vines went into the ground in the late 1970s, and the estate still calls itself family owned decades later: does that kind of continuity change what you're willing to pay for the bottle in front of you?
