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.
