Blank Canvas Reed Vineyard Chardonnay 2024 (750ml)From the confluence of Waihopai and Wairau rivers, this is Chardonnay with presence yet striking precision. The nose greets you with stone fruit, citrus peel and a hint of beeswax, gently married to flint and smoke. On the palate the acid line is taut and chiselled, with saline threads and crushed stone minerality weaving through layers of orchard richness. Tension and savour drive the finish this is a Chardonnay of real energy and ageing potential.
