Blank Canvas Abstract Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Country: New Zealand
Region and Appellation: Marlborough

Blank Canvas Abstract Sauvignon Blanc 2021 earned an exceptional 95 points from Cameron Douglas MS, who praised its "powerful, precise fruit expression" and elegant complexity that sets it apart from typical Marlborough styles. Crafted by award-winning winemaker Matt Thomson and Master of Wine Sophie Parker-Thomson, this white wine transcends conventional Marlborough through dry-farmed viticulture, hand-harvesting, and 15 months of wild yeast fermentation in French oak.

Extraordinary Vineyard & Winemaking

Sourced from three meticulously selected rows at the dry-farmed Holdaway Vineyard at Dillons Point, the fruit is whole-bunch pressed and fermented with indigenous yeasts in French oak puncheons, then aged on lees for 15 months to develop extraordinary depth and complexity. This unfiltered, single-vineyard approach creates a wine of genuine character and aging potential.

Blackcurrant Minerality Meets Exotic Spice

Expect intense aromas of blackcurrant, nectarine, and grapefruit layered with smoky flint, baked apple, and subtle barrel spice. The palate delivers stunning texture with mouth-filling richness, firm acidity, and a distinctive salty minerality reminiscent of fine Sancerre or white Bordeaux.
