Blank Canvas Grüner Veltliner 2023

Overview

The Blank Canvas Grüner Veltliner is a sophisticated and harmonious wine that perfectly balances richness with freshness. Crafted from a model Marlborough vintage, this Grüner Veltliner captures the essence of its Austrian origins while embracing the unique characteristics of its New Zealand terroir. With the use of large French oak puncheons, the wine is enriched with a subtle texture and weight that complements its vibrant, pure aromatics. This expressive Grüner is a testament to both the craft of winemaking and the exceptional quality of Marlborough’s climate, offering a luxurious and well-structured experience.

Tasting Notes

Aromatically, this Grüner Veltliner captivates with notes of mandarin and ripe peach, layered with a delicate hint of white pepper. The subtle influence of French oak is woven seamlessly into the fabric of the wine, lending richness to the mid-palate without overpowering its bright fruit character. The warm sunny days and cool nights of the Marlborough vintage have ensured perfect balance, with lively acidity providing a refreshing contrast to the fruit’s ripeness. The result is a luscious, well-structured wine that showcases both elegance and depth.
