This 12-year-old Chardonnay was recently released by Dog Point as a part of their museum release program. It’s simply stunning, liquid gold in a glass. Aromas of limestone, lemon and white flowers waft from the glass. The palate is full of flavour, layered and intense. Spicy with a buttery feel. The finish is long and intense. This will continue to age gracefully for another 10 years. Simply magnificent.

2011 Pinot Noir ‘Museum Release’, Dog Point Vineyard
£4950Add to BasketDog Point has since their first vintage in 2002, set aside a limited quantity of each vintage for later release, with this 2011 being the latest release from their museum.
In its prime now this wonderful Marlborough Pinot Noir is a deep ruby in the glass, with aromas of spice and ripe red fruits imbued with hints of leather and mushroom, together with subtle spicy oak savouriness. On the palate, deliciously flavoured with intense red fruits, subtle sweetness and excellent balance. Well-integrated oak leads to a delicate lingering soft, supple finish.
Dog Point Pinot is similar in production to some of the great houses of Burgundy and is made using 75% destemmed grapes and 25% whole bunches, which spends a total of 18 months in oak (30% new).

2019 Pinot Noir, Dog Point Vineyard – Magnum
£7995Add to BasketThis beguiling Magnum of Pinot Noir from the excellent 2019 vintage has outstanding depth of colour for Pinot Noir displaying an opaque dark red-black core with a dark red-purple hue. The powerfully scented nose is dominated by ripe black cherry and dark plum aromas laced with anise over toasty cedar, light earth and spice. The palate is rich and concentrated that’s filled with dark and black cherry flavours, dark plums and anise underpinned by scorched earth and spicy cedar. Sturdy but fine-grained tannins provide some underlying muscle to the fruit. Excellent power with a long finish of dark and black fruits, anise, scorched earth and spicy cedar. Will improve for 6-8 years.
