Tasting notes:

Barrel-fermented and aged in oak (15% new). Complex aromas of baked apple, peach, brioche and soft wood spice with notes of blackcurrant and dried herb extract. Gorgeous, rich and full-bodied on the palate with savoury notes and a mouthwatering acidity.

Producer description:

Blank Canvas is a collaboration between Master of Wine Sophie Parker-Thomson and award-winning winemaking consultant Matt Thomson. Together, they seek out exceptional single vineyards to craft small batches of wines which are now at the forefront of New Zealand’s fine wine scene. Their wines are terroir-driven and highlight the nuances between Marlborough’s diverse subregions. They also make some a cool-climate expression of Syrah in Hawkes Bay’s Gimblett Gravels.

Critic Scores

Vinous | 96

White Bordeaux fans, get your coat; you've scored. The 2021 Sauvignon Blanc Abstract is a gorgeous, rich, full-bodied mouthful of intensely concentrated barrel-fermented Sauvignon. This is curvy, suave and sophisticated. Its ripe blackcurrant and fennel aromas meet lees-derived savory notes and nutty oak characters (aged in puncheons, 15% new). The 2021 has substance as well as fine acidity that provides mouthwatering refreshment. Its long finish is laced with layers of fragrance and texture. This has the componentry to age well, but it's delicious now, so why would you wait?
