Blank Canvas Upton Downs Pinot Noir 2017 (6 Bottles) New Zealand

$318.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Our Upton Downs Pinot Noir is a juxtaposition of perfume and structure. The elevated single vineyard on the terraces above the Awatere River gives elegance and delicacy of fruit while the 40% whole bunch fermentation and manual punch-downs delivers an impressive tannin framework and excellent length on the palate.

Bright raspberry, red cherry and currant unite with graphite, forest floor and subtle smoked bacon. This is a wine that will get more intriguing and complex with cellaring, assisted by its whole bunch fermentation characters and low-toast savoury oak regime.

It has years of evolution ahead of it.

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.
