Anandale Farm Marlborough Riesling, Blank Canvas

Blank Canvas is the vinous studio of award-winning international winemaking consultant Matt Thomson and Master of Wine Sophie Parker-Thomson. With over 40 years of collective experience in the global wine industry, they produce small batch fine wines from exceptional single vineyard sites throughout New Zealand under their art-meets-science project. Matt has worked over 50 vintages in numerous wine regions around the world and has worked with David Gleave since 1994. Sophie has been travelling to Europe and working with Matt since 2011, leaving her career in law behind her. This international experience is the founding inspiration for this husband-and-wife team..

Sophie and Matt’s love of German Prädikatswein has inspired their Anandale Farm Riesling, which is sourced from a single vineyard in Blind River and is made in a Kabinett-style.

This Riesling brims with clear notes of old-fashioned lemonade, key lime, and honeysuckle. There is a flush of sweetness on the palate, which is beautifully balanced by the zesty acidity. The finish is long and satisfying.
