Cloudy Bay - Heaiy as a winemaker with 14 years' experience in
Marlborough- and Sutherland- who was born in Marlborough- as a
viticulturalist. They both know their onions. ' To say
they hit the ground running with Dog Point would be an understatement.
They own an 80ha vineyard in the Brancott Valley- an off-shoot of
Marlborough's main Wairau Valley. They have the beginnings of a winery
on-site - well- okay- it's just a stab with a few tanks at this stage-
but the expertise is enormous." Huon Hooke 3 Apr 2004 (The Age- Good
Weekend) "James Healy and Ivan Sutherland's Dog Point vineyard is close
to Terra Vin. Though most of their crop has been sold to Cloudy Bay for
years- from the 2002 vintage on the pair began making small batches of
chardonnay- sauvignon blanc and pinot to release under their own label.
The Dog Point wines are made using different techniques from those
adopted at Cloudy Bay. The yields are lower- and the fermentations are
all spontaneous. In the case of the whites- this means pressing the
juice straight into barrel and waiting for up to ten days before
fermentation kicks off- then having the confidence to let that
fermentation tick over slowly- sometimes for months. read more...
