Pierre’s Pick: Dog Point Vineyard 2009 Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough, New Zealand

When a trusted chef recommended this wine to accompany a scallop dish, I knew it I couldn’t say no. And saying yes sure has its benefits – I got to know this delicious wine. It is fresh with intensely concentrated aromas of tropical fruits infused with ripe citrus notes and hints of lemongrass. The palate has an excellent texture, with fine acidity, a degree of minerality and a lasting, refreshingly crisp finish. Any seafood dish, white meats, salads and mild cheeses would pair well with this versatile food wine.
