Dog Point Marlborough Chardonnay 2023 – A World-Class Expression
The Dog Point Marlborough Chardonnay 2023 is a remarkable showcase of New Zealand winemaking excellence. Crafted in Marlborough, one of the world’s most acclaimed wine regions, this Chardonnay offers precision, depth, and complexity while staying true to the elegance of the varietal.
Fresh citrus-driven aromas of lemon zest, lime, and orange peel are layered with subtle notes of toasted hazelnuts, white peach, and a distinct struck-flint minerality. This hallmark character reflects the unique gravelly soils of Marlborough and brings an unmistakable sense of place to every sip.
Tasting Profile
Nose
Intense and refined, with aromas of ripe citrus, peach, and nectarine, lifted by smoky flint, gunpowder, and hints of roasted nuts.
Palate
A finely structured Chardonnay with laser-like acidity, delivering bright citrus and stone fruit flavours. Barrel fermentation has added richness and texture, while preserving purity and freshness. Layers of nutmeg, toasted oak, and spice gently unfold, giving depth and sophistication.
Finish
Long and lingering, with a seamless balance of fruit and oak. Subtle nutty and smoky notes leave a memorable impression, ensuring both freshness and complexity.
Ageing Potential
While this Chardonnay is vibrant and expressive in its youth, it is built to evolve gracefully. With careful cellaring, the Dog Point Chardonnay 2023 will develop greater complexity over the next 10+ years, rewarding those who choose to lay it down.

| Winery | Back in 1979, when Ivan and Margaret Sutherland first planted the Dog Point vineyard, Marlborough was a long way from being the household name amongst wine drinkers that it is today. The investment proved to be a sage decision, and as the popularity of Marlborough grew (thanks in no small part to Ivan Sutherland’s work as chief viticulturist at Cloudy Bay), the fruit from this vineyard in Marlborough’s southern valleys became highly sought-after. Whilst working at Cloudy Bay, Sutherland met James Healy, the head winemaker, and together, they aspired to produce their wines. This dream came to fruition with the 2002 vintage, and the first wines made under the Dog Point name were released in 2004, quickly winning global acclaim. Dog Point’s icon status has been maintained through a meticulous approach in both the vineyard and the winery, now the responsibility of the next generation of the Sutherland family who has taken charge. All the grapes from the low-cropped, organic vineyard are hand-picked, and the wines are either partially or fully fermented with wild yeasts. The focused range of just four wines allows for a house style that marries complexity and drinkability, producing distinctive and age-worthy wines that are recognisably Dog Point. |
