This Riesling brims with clear notes of old-fashioned lemonade, key lime, and honeysuckle. There is a flush of sweetness on the palate, which is beautifully balanced by the zesty acidity. The finish is long and satisfying.

This wine comes from the coastal Blind River subregion in the Awatere Valley, which the Blank Canvas team selected for the mineral-driven and delicate wines it produces. This is from a single vineyard on the Anandale Farm, planted in 2021. The soil is a complex mix of silty loam and gravel, and its cool micro-climate is ideal for producing this style of wine.

The grapes were hand harvested in the cool morning and whole-bunch pressed, with the free-run juice directed to one small tank. The juice was settled naturally over 48 hours before fermenting in stainless steel at cool temperatures. With minimal intervention throughout, fermentation was stopped by chilling to retain the desired residual sugar and balance.
