The 2022 Vintage

A wet spring in 2022 gave way to a long, golden Marlborough autumn. This extended hang-time allowed the Pinot Noir to build deep, concentrated flavour while retaining razor-sharp natural acidity. The result is an energetic, intensely aromatic wine with a vibrant tension that will evolve gracefully in the cellar.

The Fulham Wine Co Take

Marlborough Pinot Noir rarely achieves this level of intellectual depth and savoury complexity. It skips the simple, overly fruity traps of the region, offering a wild-fermented profile that feels incredibly polished and sophisticated alongside roasted poultry or game. This is a brilliant demonstration of what the region can do when pushed to its absolute limits.


Dog Point

Founded by Marlborough royalty Ivan Sutherland and James Healy, Dog Point is a pioneer of organic, terroir-driven winemaking in the Wairau Valley. Deliberately stepping away from the region's aggressively tropical standard, the estate champions hand-picked fruit, native yeast fermentations, and extended lees contact. This meticulous, low-intervention approach yields wines of extraordinary texture, vibrant energy, and a signature, sophisticated flintiness. Dog Point remains an absolute benchmark for serious collectors seeking New World purity masterfully woven with Old World complexity and tension.

Marlborough

Situated at the northeastern tip of New Zealand’s South Island, Marlborough is a sun-drenched powerhouse celebrated for two distinct masterpieces: intensely aromatic Sauvignon Blanc and highly sought-after, elegant Pinot Noir. Defined by intense UV light and dramatically cool ocean-chilled nights, this extreme maritime climate acts as a lock-and-key for both varietals. It preserves electric acidity while developing explosive tropical fruit in the whites, and vibrant, perfumed red berry notes in the reds. From the Wairau to the Awatere valleys, Marlborough delivers a masterclass in New World purity, offering wines of breathtaking energy and precision.
