Tasting note

品飲筆記：一款以質地見長的白酒，前段散發鮮明的柑橘皮、白花與淡淡白桃香，底層有石墨般的火藥礦感與少許黑加侖香氣。口感豐滿、酒泥柔滑帶來奶油感，酸度明亮，餘韻鹹香悠長。 酒莊與產地：空白畫布酒莊（Blank Canvas Wines，由 Matt Thomson 與 Sophie Parker-Thomson 經營）追求現代而有層次的作品。本款取自 Holdaway 家族在馬爾堡的地塊，家族世代耕作，採用再生農法：施堆肥、行間混栽增加有機質、免耕管理，且這個三排地塊為少見的乾旱栽培，VSP 支架與藤杈修剪，讓果實更專注出香與礦物性。 釀造工藝：整穗輕壓，僅取自由流汁送入使用過的法國大桶（puncheons，3–5 年桶），以野生酵母自然發酵並保留全部酒泥；在桶中不做攪動，並完成天然乳酸發酵，瓶前在酒泥上熟成約14–15個月，造就豐富的口感與細緻層次。 配餐與建議：適合搭配奶油或香草調味的海鮮、味增或帶鹹味的熟成乳酪，也能與亞洲風味的餃子、泰式蟹肉麵或香蒜青醬義大利麵互補。建議開瓶後靜置約30分鐘，能讓香氣與口感更和諧。

Tasting Note: A textured, oak-influenced white showing a layered perfume of citrus peel, white florals and a hint of white peach, edged with flinty gunpowder and subtle blackcurrant. On the palate it is medium–full bodied with creamy lees texture, lively acidity and a savory, mineral finish. Producer Notes: Crafted by Blank Canvas Wines (owners Matt Thomson and Sophie Parker-Thomson), this 'Abstract' bottling is designed to be a modern, textural expression with elegance and age-worthiness. The team describe an intense perfume balanced by savouriness and minerality. Winemaking Notes: Fruit was whole-bunch pressed; only the free-run juice was racked to seasoned French oak puncheons (3–5 year) and left to wild ferment with full solids. No barrel stirring was performed and the wine underwent natural malolactic fermentation, spending c.14–15 months on lees for rich texture. Vineyard Notes: Sourced from the Holdaway family vineyard in Marlborough, farmed with regenerative practices — composting, mixed inter-row plantings, zero-till — and a rare dry-farmed three-row parcel. VSP-trained and cane-pruned, the site yields concentrated fruit with pronounced minerality and bright natural acidity. Cellaring & Serving: Drink now to 2029–2030 for primary fruit and developing bottle complexity. Serve lightly chilled and allow ~30 minutes to open up; benefits from gentle aeration. Pairs beautifully with richer seafood, herb-forward dishes and aged cheeses.
