🌟 A daring and textured take on Sauvignon Blanc—wild, savoury, and multi-layered, blending Marlborough’s coastal purity with a winemaker’s bold vision.

👁 In the Glass:
Pale straw with golden hues—rich and luminous, hinting at its depth and oak influence.

👃 On the Nose:
Intriguing and layered, with lifted aromas of blackcurrant leaf, passionfruit, and kaffir lime, underpinned by flinty minerality and subtle notes of crushed herbs, wild yeast funk, and warm spice.

👅 On the Palate:
Textural, savoury, and complex. Juicy tropical and citrus fruit give way to a creamy mid-palate framed by oak spice and saline tension. The long, layered finish combines ripe fruit with mouth-watering acidity and a salty, mineral backbone.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Outstanding with seared scallops, herb-roasted chicken, goat’s cheese tart, or grilled asparagus. Its richness and complexity make it a standout with bold, aromatic dishes.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Beautiful now for its energy and structure, but will evolve gracefully over 5–7 years, gaining nutty, savoury nuance.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
‘Abstract’ is not your average Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc—it’s a cerebral, barrel-fermented expression that dares to challenge convention. With wild yeast character, deep texture, and salty precision, Blank Canvas crafts a wine for the adventurous palate—layered, thrilling, and endlessly fascinating.
