'Abstract | Three Rows' Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Abstract | Three Rows is deliberately removed from the familiar Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc formula. It comes from a dry-farmed parcel within the Holdaway Vineyard at Dillons Point, picked by hand and fermented with indigenous yeasts in seasoned French oak puncheons.

Tasting Notes

After 15 months in oak, the wine is bottled without fining or filtration. Blackcurrant and passionfruit meet Dillons Point’s salty minerality, with toast, smoke and savoury lees detail adding texture and depth.

About Blank Canvas

Fusing a husband-and-wife partnership of a biochemist winemaker with 66 global vintages under his belt and a brilliantly analytical Master of Wine, Matt Thomson and Sophie Parker-Thomson treat New Zealand's finest single-vineyard sites as a completely blank slate. Following no script but their own scientific curiosity and artistic intent, they craft intellectual, limited-production masterpieces that overflow with laser-focused mineral precision, authentic terroir definition, and a thrillingly unconventional energy.

About Marlborough

Marlborough is New Zealand’s best-known wine region and the global benchmark for Sauvignon Blanc. The cool climate, long sunshine hours and free-draining soils create intensely aromatic wines with signature Marlborough freshness. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay also perform well, offering clean, sometimes complex fruit fruit-driven styles with subtle structure. Many vineyards stretch across the Wairau and Awatere Valleys, each adding small differences in flavour and texture. Winemaking here is modern and precise, with a focus on capturing bright, clean fruit above all else. Marlborough remains a reliable source of vibrant, crisp wines that are instantly recognisable.
