Blank Canvas, Holdaway Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, Wairau Valley, Marlborough, New Zealand 2022

This cool, coastal single vineyard in the Dillons Point subregion lends a fresh, minerally seabreeze tang to the flavours of guava, red apple and tomato leaf. Complex and moreish, the lip-smacking acidity drives through the textured, bone-dry palate lifted by a herbal, floral perfume that persists through the long finish.
