Sourced entirely from the sustainably farmed Anandale Farm and crafted by winemaker Matt Thomson, it captures a cool maritime site at its best. With its low alcohol and layered style, it’s a modern New Zealand Riesling with plenty of pedigree.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePale straw in the glass, it opens with a lifted, expressive nose of lemon, lime, white peach, elderflower and honeysuckle, with a subtle floral perfume that keeps unfolding in the glass. On the palate, it’s bright and detailed, with flavours of freshly made lemonade, green apple, grapefruit and wet stone, all framed by crisp acidity and a gentle thread of residual sweetness.\n\nThe balance is what makes it so compelling: the sweetness never dominates, instead adding texture and charm to the wine’s vivid citrus drive. It should drink well now for its freshness and aromatics, but it also has the structure to develop gracefully over the next few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come exclusively from Anandale Farm in Marlborough, a sustainably farmed vineyard close to the sea, where the cool climate and site conditions create ideal ripening for Riesling. The maritime influence helps preserve freshness and aromatic intensity, while the vineyard soils contribute to the wine’s mineral edge and precision. Harvesting is typically carried out with care to retain natural acidity and expressive fruit character, followed by a vinification approach designed to preserve purity and balance in the finished wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an excellent match for spicy Asian dishes, shellfish, grilled prawns, roast pork, and salads with fresh herbs, as well as tangy cheeses or dishes with a touch of sweetness. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C to keep the wine vibrant and focused. Decanting is not necessary; in fact, it’s best enjoyed fresh, straight from the bottle, to appreciate its aromatic lift and fine interplay of sweetness and acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlank Canvas is a Marlborough-based fine wine project known for producing small-batch, characterful wines that showcase site expression and precision.
