Perlage Winery: The Sparkling Story of Organic Prosecco

In September, we had the pleasure of welcoming Anna Nardi from Perlage Winery to share their passion for Prosecco.

The story of Perlage began in 1985, when the seven Nardi brothers, encouraged by their parents Tiziano and Afra, converted their vineyards to organic agriculture. It all started with the Riva Moretta vineyard, nestled in the heart of the Prosecco DOCG area.

Today, Perlage is internationally recognized as one of the leading producers of organic sparkling wine and among the few wineries crafting organic Prosecco in the prestigious Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG region. Since 2004, they’ve also embraced biodynamic practices, combining tradition with innovation.

Sustainability is at the core of Perlage—from carefully selecting soils for each grape variety to environmentally responsible farming, winemaking, and even the way wines reach customers.

Perlage wines are synonymous with elegance, purity, and passion. They reflect a balance of respect for tradition and creativity for the future—a harmony of vines, stories, discoveries, and craftsmanship.

Raise a glass of Perlage Prosecco, and you’ll taste not just a sparkling wine, but a philosophy built on respect, sustainability, and love for the land.

From Sauvignon Blanc to Pinot Noir – Dog Point Vineyard’s Organic Wines Shine

What an incredible few days hosting Jak Nash from the iconic Dog Point Vineyard in Marlborough, New Zealand!

From inspiring trade tastings to customer visits that sparked meaningful conversations, the week was filled with connection, learning and a true celebration of what makes Dog Point so special.

For those unfamiliar, Dog Point Vineyard is not only one of Marlborough’s oldest privately established vineyards, but also New Zealand’s largest certified organic vineyard (certified by BioGro NZ). Family-owned and located on the beautiful hill slopes of the Southern Valleys, Dog Point has become a pioneer of organic and low-intervention winemaking in Marlborough.

The vineyard produces four exceptional wines:

  • a vibrant Sauvignon Blanc,

  • three barrel-fermented wines using natural wild yeasts — the acclaimed Section 94 Sauvignon Blanc (fermented in older French oak barrels), an elegant Chardonnay, and a refined Pinot Noir.

All wines are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free, reflecting Dog Point’s commitment to a sustainable, low-intervention ethos. Above all, the family’s focus is on crafting wines of uncompromising quality — wines that are built to age gracefully and cellar beautifully.

Of course, no trip would be complete without some fantastic food and wine pairings along the way — the perfect opportunity to highlight the craftsmanship and character of these wines.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at tastings, shared their passion, and made these few days such a success. We can’t wait to do it all again soon!

September 2023.

Tindal Wine Merchants has been appointed the new, sole Irish agents for Dog Point Vineyard, effective immediately. William Tindal, Director at Tindal Wine Merchants, said: ‘Like all good Kiwis the people behind Dog Point are pioneers, they were in at the beginning, planting vines and helping to establish a reputation for the wines of Marlborough, globally. Dog Point embraces sustainable and organic viticulture with a prudent winemaking style which captures the best of what their vines, soils and the region has to offer. The Tindal family has long ties to the region, we’ve all visited Dog Point over the years, we are delighted to now represent and share them among the ardent wine people of Ireland.’ 

Dog Point is a perfect match for our portfolio, located at the confluence of the Brancott and Omaka Valleys in Marlborough, New Zealand’s premium wine growing region and is one of the oldest privately established vineyards in the region. The Dog Point property comprises of undulating terrain, clay loam soils and a desirable northerly aspect.

Established in 2002 by partners, Ivan & Margaret Sutherland, and James & Wendy Healy. After working together at Cloudy Bay, Ivan and James decided to return to a more hands-on approach and establish their own wine label.

The name “Dog Point” dates from earliest European settlement of Marlborough, an area where shepherd’s dogs either wandered off or became lost. It is home to one of New Zealand’s cultural and ecological treasures, “ti kouka”, or cabbage tree. It is an aesthetic feature of the Dog Point landscape and a stylised version has become a key part of the Dog Point brand.
