Blank Canvas Sauvignon Blanc Holdaway Vineyard 2023, 0,75 L

Recognised as one of New Zealand's standout white wines from the 2023 vintage, this exceptionally complex, mineral Sauvignon Blanc left an indelible impression on us as well.

Hailing from the Holdaway Vineyard in the Marlborough wine-growing region, just 4 kilometres from the sea near the renowned Cloudy Bay, this wine embodies the cool coastal influence and proximity to the ocean. Its character is defined by the presence of salts and minerals.

The nose offers an expressive bouquet of blackcurrants, ripe lemons, and exotic fruits. On the palate, it is dry, exceptionally juicy, clear, and expressive, with subtle hints of a sea breeze. The finish introduces a delightful touch of saltiness, enhancing the drinking experience and showcasing the stony minerality that leaves your palate craving more. Passion fruit and citrus notes linger gracefully, upheld by well-balanced acidity.

Prepare to be captivated by this wine. It's perfect for outdoor enjoyment or as an accompaniment to dishes like asparagus, fish and seafood, or even guacamole.
