Dog Point Vineyard Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc NZ
Description: Pale green straw colour, with a lovely bouquet of tropical, ripe citrus fruits as well as hints of fresh herbs. The palate is rich and full bodied with juicy texture and fine acidic balance. Ideal with whites meats, seafood and oysters especially. The name Dog Point dates from the earliest European settlement of Marlborough and the introduction of sheep to the district. These were days of few fences, of boundary riders and boundary keeping dogs. Shepherds’ dogs sometimes became lost or wandered off and eventually bred into a marauding pack which attacked local flocks. Their home was a tussock and scrub covered hill, overlooking the Wairau Plains, designated by the early settlers as Dog Point. (12 x 75 cl)
Price: £148.05

Willow Bridge BLACK DOG Shiraz Western Australia
Description: The wine is named the Black Dog because, according to the winemaker's son, the colour is as black as the inside of a dog. The fruit for this wine was harvested from the highest and stoniest part of the Ferguson Valley vineyard. Picked 10 days after the Estate Shiraz, the berries had attained great ripeness, colour and tannin structure. The wine was fermented in two separate tanks One had some wine run off for barrel fermentation, and in the other the wine was left on the skins for 4 weeks post-fermentation. The resultant wines were then run off to the finest oak barriques, mostly fine grained French and extra fine grained American oak. There were over 20 separate batches that were treated separately as the wine matured over 18 months. The resultant wine is deep in colour and rich, with round, ripe berry flavours and complex oak on the nose. The palate is huge and rich with loads of flavour, ripe tannins and a long, long finish. This is a big wine in all of its characteristics which somehow manages not to be over-extracted or broad.. (6 x 75 cl)
