Wine Expert Note:

Upon pouring, the Alpha Estate Sauvignon Blanc Fumé graces the senses with a pale golden color, tinged with subtle green reflections. The bouquet is intense and multifaceted, with fragrant notes of ripe tropical fruits like passion fruit and mango, harmoniously intertwined with nuances of dried herbs, flint, and a touch of vanilla from the oak aging. As it ventures onto the palate, the wine showcases a robust character, presenting flavors of citrus zest, ripe stone fruits, and a wisp of smoky complexity. A beautiful underlying minerality, reflective of Amyndeon's unique terroir, is complemented by a bright acidity that ensures balance and longevity. The finish is persistent, leaving behind a trail of toasted almonds and citrusy freshness. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, white meats, or even as a standalone aperitif, making it a versatile choice for various gastronomic adventures.

Dog Point Section 94, from the esteemed Marlborough winery, bears witness to Sauvignon Blanc vines averaging 24 years, save for Section 94, where vines surpass 30 years. Nestled at the convergence of Brancott and Omaka valleys, this exceptional white wine is organically cultivated and fermented in oak barrels. Tasting a glass of Dog Point Section 94 is a journey to the roots, originating from the first vines planted in this corner of the world in 1975. Co-founders Ivan Sutherland and James Healy, influenced by Cloudy Bay, initiated Dog Point in 2002. Section 94, grown on clayey, loamy soils with optimal drainage, thrives in the sunny, dry climate with significant day-night temperature shifts. Hand-harvested and whole-cluster vinified, this wine undergoes pressing and fermentation with stems, resulting in a tannic, full-bodied composition enriched with polyphenols. Aged in oak for approximately 18 months, Dog Point Section 94 is bottled without fining, embodying the essence of its unique terroir and meticulous craftsmanship.
