Dog Point Vineyard produced premium wines in Malborough, New Zealand. The fruits used in vinification are from hand-picked, low cropped vines grown organically which adds to its exquisite quality. The 2015 Pinot Noir is hand picked, chilled overnight and handsorted with 80% destemmed and 20% whole bunches included. The grapes are fermented in small stainless open top fermenters with 100% indigenous yeasts over a period of 3 weeks prior to pressing into French oak barrels for eighteen months (35% new). The wine is bottled without fining or filtration and cellaring is done for seven to ten years.
