Overview:
The Blank Canvas Abstract Three Rows Sauvignon Blanc offers a bold departure from the typical style of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Focusing on texture, depth, and aromatic complexity, this wine is a masterful reimagining of the varietal. Sourced from the renowned Holdaway Family vineyard in Dillons Point, it is a wine that embraces both fruit purity and the savoury influence of wild yeast fermentation in seasoned French oak puncheons. This Sauvignon Blanc is an extraordinary example of Marlborough’s unique terroir, with layers of complexity and an elegant, signature minerality.
Tasting Notes:
On the nose, the wine captivates with an intricate bouquet of blackcurrant and passionfruit, beautifully interwoven with the vineyard’s signature salty minerality. The palate is enriched by a complexity derived from the 100% wild yeast fermentation, lending savoury depth and textural layers. A fine balance of fruit-forward brightness and oak-driven savouriness creates a wine that is both captivating and multifaceted. The interplay of fruit and texture, with its subtle hint of oak, offers a refreshing yet intriguing finish that lingers with elegance and refinement.
