Description
95 Points #1 Marlborough Chardonnay "Weighty, mouth-filling chardonnay with grapefruit, saline/oyster shell, lime zest, nutty yeast lees and a suggestion of sizzled butter. Great without the complication of food but even better with my hot-smoked salmon. 27/9/2023" - Bob Campbell MW

White Wine of the Year 2023 - “Our White Wine of the Year is……. the toasty, nutty, seriously savoury and utterly compelling 2022 Blank Canvas Reed Vineyard Chardonnay from Marlborough in New Zealand!” December 2023 | Peter Richards & Susie Marks MWs (UK)
95 Points – Outstanding "An excellent example of Chardonnay from the Blank Canvas team with aromas and flavours of white fleshed stone fruits and a citrus seam woven through the core. Taut and dry, youthful and textured with a lovely palate squeeze and urgency. Flavours expand on the palate as the wine opens out and gets closer to ambient with baking spices and a light reductive flinty highlight. Oak frames the fruit and is judicious in its level and impact. Generous weight, gentle warming alcohol, plenty of intensity, length and power. A wine best enjoyed from mid to late 2024 through 2030+"- Cameron Douglas MS
