After leaving Cloudy Bay the pair began making wine from fruit sourced from Sutherland’s own vineyards in the Wairau Valley. Abundant sunshine, low rainfall and cool autumn nights here make for a long grape growing season, enabling the slow evolution of a rich array of vibrant fruit flavours. Dog Point produces a small but high-quality portfolio of four incredibly exciting wines. Their sauvignon blanc is beautifully elegant and fine-tasting with a stunning perfume. Section 94 is, unusually for Marlborough, a barrel-fermented sauvignon blanc which undergoes extended lees contact in older barrels. We regard it as New Zealand’s most distinctive sauvignon - the name comes from a specific plot known as section 94 on an early survey map of the area. The impressive chardonnay too sees some oak and is broad-flavoured yet restrained. Pinot noir is highly perfumed and stylish with a silky palate. Grapes are hand-picked and winemaking is as natural as possible with only indigenous yeasts being used.

The unusually dry conditions in winter resulted in an early bud break and fruit set, pushing harvest dates up accordingly.

Grapes from each vineyard were fermented separately, yielding an array of distinct characteristics. Hillside fruit contributed firm tannins, while fruit from lower elevations brought plush, rich flavors. A rigorous barrel program matches each lot to the type of oak best suited to enhance it. Lots for the 2015 vintage matured in different types of barrels; each barrel was chosen for an ability to impart a subtle range of flavors. After undergoing malolactic fermentation in barrel, followed by 16 months of aging, the lots were evaluated blind. Multiple trial blends led to the final cuvée, which includes small amounts of inky, tannin-rich Petit Sirah and Merlot, which skillfully distinguishes this Cabernet’s poised, layered structure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAPPELLATION: Napa Valley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVARIETAL COMPOSITION: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon; 11% Petite Sirah; 3% Merlot; 6% Other varieties\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOAK TREATMENT: Aged 16 months in 35% new oak barrels (80% French and 20% American)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eALCOHOL BY VOL: 14.5%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bancroft","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case 6x75cl","offer_id":20054945988667,"sku":"","price":269.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Bottle 75cl","offer_id":20054958735419,"sku":"","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/products\/black_stallion_napa_valley.png?v=1547464545"},{"product_id":"ataraxia-serenity-2018-hemel-en-aarde-valley","title":"Ataraxia Serenity","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e£23.95\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBV 13%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\nHarvest 2017 was warm in the national context.

Historically noted as pre-eminently suitable for winemaking (Bragato 1895), stonefruit prevailed until renewed interest in the 1950s and then significant commitment by the 1970s pioneers. The main sub-regions lie within close reach but the distinctive mountainous terrain means each occupies a unique niche of climate, aspect and altitude. Soils can vary considerably within each sub -region though a stony free draining base is common to all. The world`s southernmost wine region and the country`s highest, in this semi-continental climate, frosts are an accepted and planned for hazard. Dry autumns and overall low humidity are signficant assets, helping to coax both amazing purity and complexity.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoutique winery Mt Difficulty was an early pioneer in the region.
