Blank Canvas Abstract Three Rows Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2020 $44 
From just three rows of dry-farmed sauvignon blanc growing in the Holdaway Vineyard in Dillons Point comes this carefully crafted wine that’s been naturally fermented in large, older, seasoned oak puncheons, where it’s been aged for 15 months on its lees. That maturation (along with the genius of winemakers Sophie Parker-Thomson and Matt Thomson) is what’s contributed to its delicately smoky dandelion pollen, marzipan, lime zest, bruised basil, and lemongrass allure. Creamy and complex to finish, it’s stunning with mussel fritters dolloped with tartar sauce. Drink now through 2027.
