Blank Canvas Escaroth Pinot Noir 2018 (6 Bottles) New Zealand

$318.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Escaroth Vineyard is a site that truly reflects vintage variation: this year’s 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.

The very low-yielding vintage (4.6 t/ha) coupled with the dry-farmed nature of the site has resulted in incredible concentration and intensity.

2020 was the second drought year in a trio (2019 – 2021), all of which demanded the use of whole-bunch to ensure balanced extraction and lifted aromatics.

The result is a very complex, savoury Pinot Noir with a structured yet elegant tannin framework. As this wine is bottled without filtration, a small amount of natural sediment may form with time.

About Blank Canvas Wines

Blank Canvas is our vinous studio. It’s our clean slate where we combine art and science in unity, without being enslaved to tradition. We can play by our own rules, with our ultimate aim of creating wines that excite, delight and inspire.

Our wines are 100% single-vineyard wines. They are small batch in nature and are a manifestation of the exact time and place they are from. We start with a blank canvas with every vineyard site and every vintage with the aim of reflecting individuality and character.

We also aren’t adorned with badges that stamp us as belonging to one regime or another. We would rather be free from such prescriptive and more often than not emotive raison d’etres that sees philosophy trumped over logic.
We embrace science (knowledge) and look forward rather than backward.

Our goal with Blank Canvas is to make wines that engage you, that challenge cerebrally and emotively. To do this we seek out exceptional single vineyard sites throughout Marlborough, Hawke’s Bay and Central Otago in New Zealand, grown by long-term grower partners that are dedicated to their land.
