Discover Marlborough: Blank Canvas
4-Bottle Pack | $195 with free shipping
Marlborough is inseparably linked with Sauvignon Blanc. For a young region - it's hard to believe the first vines were only planted in 1973 - it's a remarkable success story. But it also doesn't capture what's happening on the ground in Marlborough today.
Blank Canvas truly showcases the diversity of Marlborough. Of course, we have to start with Sauvignon Blanc. Two, to be specific. But these are distinct expressions from what you'll find on your typical retail shelf. Since Marlborough is so much more than Sauvignon Blanc, we've included a Chardonnay and Pinot Noir too.
Join Geoffrey Moss MW on Zoom for a 45-minute guided overview of Marlborough, as we taste through four wines from one of the region's benchmark producers.
* A 50ml sample will accompany each 750ml bottle so you can sample the wines during the webinar without opening all four bottles.
Wines you'll be tasting
Holdaway Vineyard
Sauvignon Blanc 2023
MARLBOROUGH, NEW ZEALAND
Consistently among New Zealand's top rated Sauvignon Blanc wines, the Fruit is sourced from the Holdaway Family vineyard at Dillons Point — the winemakers', Sophie's and Matt's, favourite sub region for the variety. This wine is focused and explosive on both nose and palate yet remains elegantly balanced and distinctly salty.

Abstract
Three Rows Sauvignon Blanc 2019
MARLBOROUGH, NEW ZEALAND
Sophie's and Matt's alternative take on Marlborough's classic style. The Abstract Sauvignon Blanc has savoury complexity and seamless texture, drawing parallels with the best white Bordeaux wines.

Reed Vineyard
Chardonnay 2022
MARLBOROUGH, NEW ZEALAND
Consistently reviewed among the top Marlborough and New Zealand Chardonnays, the Reed Vineyard Chardonnay has both power and incredible elegance. This is a wine for drinking now for its crystalline purity or cellaring and reaping the benefits of tertiary development in many years to come.

Escaroth Vineyard
Pinot Noir 2020
MARLBOROUGH, NEW ZEALAND
Escaroth Vineyard is a site that truly reflects vintage variation: the 2020 release simply ticks all the boxes for Pinot Noir fanatics. It has a beguiling, complex perfume that treads both red/blue fruit and an enchanting spice, game and earthy savouriness.
