This month, we’re rolling out the red carpet for Blank Canvas Wines, the dynamic duo of winemaking from Marlborough, New Zealand. Founded by the talented Matt Thomson and Sophie Parker-Thomson, Blank Canvas is all about crafting wines that are as expressive and unique as a blank canvas waiting to be painted. Think of them as the Picasso and Van Gogh of the wine world, but with fewer ear-related incidents.

Matt and Sophie bring a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective to their winemaking, resulting in wines that are both innovative and true to their terroir. Their dedication to quality and craftsmanship shines through in every bottle, from their crisp and mineral-driven Sauvignon Blanc to their complex and elegant Pinot Noir. It’s like they’ve bottled up a bit of Marlborough magic just for you.

Blank Canvas Wines is also committed to sustainable viticulture, ensuring that their wines are not only delicious but also kind to the environment. A must-try is their Blank Canvas Riesling, a remarkable wine from the Awatere Valley that balances residual sugar with knife-edged acidity for a medium-dry delight. Another standout is the Holdaway Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, a cool, coastal single vineyard wine offering flavors of guava, red apple, and tomato leaf, with a fresh, minerally seabreeze tang. Their Escaroth Vineyard Pinot Noir, recently awarded 5 stars by renowned critic Michael Cooper, is a testament to their engrossing complexity.

Join us in celebrating the artistry of Blank Canvas Wines. Cheers! 🥂
