Authentic Wines Rooted in Marlborough's Terroir

Collaboration of Two Visionary Winemakers

Ivan and Margaret Sutherland are pioneers in Marlborough's wine scene, having planted their first grapes in the late 1970s. Their partnership with James Healy, whom Ivan met while working at Cloudy Bay Vineyards, led to the evolution of the Cloudy Bay brand. In 2004, they founded Dog Point Vineyard, focusing on a hands-on approach to winemaking. With a commitment to quality and sustainability, the two couples continue to work together, ensuring a legacy for the next generation of passionate winemakers.

Located in a Premier Wine Region

Dog Point Vineyard is a family-owned boutique winery nestled at the intersection of the Brancott and Omaka Valleys, within Marlborough, New Zealand's premier wine-growing region. The vineyard produces wines that reflect the dedication and passion of its makers while honoring the natural integrity of the land. The portfolio includes a classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, a barrel-aged Sauvignon Blanc, a rich Chardonnay, and a vibrant Pinot Noir. All grapes are hand-picked from low-cropped vines cultivated under organic principles, with a minimal-intervention approach to winemaking. These wines are crafted for immediate enjoyment or for aging gracefully.

Ideal Conditions for Grape Growth

Marlborough boasts one of the sunniest and driest climates in New Zealand, characterized by significant temperature variations between warm days and cool nights. This unique climate creates optimal conditions for grape ripening, allowing the fruit to develop rich flavors and balanced acidity, essential for producing high-quality wines.
