Blank Canvas, Escaroth Chardonnay, Marlborough 2021

The Escaroth single vineyard has some of the oldest soils in the region consisting of very low-vigour clay soils, which are perfect for low yielding Pinot Noir. The north-facing slope means excellent exposure to the sun in an area that has a greater diurnal range than the main Wairau Valley. The vineyard is dry-farmed and everything is done by hand - this is because of the hillside nature of the site being adverse to machinery! Wild fermentation, zero battonage, natural malolactic fermentation and a mixed format oak regime (barriques, 30% new). Black Canvast adheres to maintaining a minimalist philosophy, they bottle the Escaroth Chardonnay without filtration.
