Product Description
Blank Canvas Reed Chardonnay 2023 earned a stunning 95 points from Cameron Douglas MS, hailed as "#1 Marlborough Chardonnay" for its weighty, mouth-filling complexity.

Stone Fruit Elegance Meets French Oak
Hand-harvested grapes undergo whole-bunch pressing and spontaneous fermentation in 500-liter French oak puncheons (40% new), then age on lees unfined and unfiltered. Expect captivating aromas of white nectarine, stone fruit, and subtle honey, with grapefruit, baked apple, and spice on the palate. The wine delivers lively acidity, finely integrated oak, and a saline minerality that pairs beautifully with seafood or creamy sauces.
