2018 Blank Canvas Element Vineyard Syrah

This wine has received rave critical acclaim in New Zealand, featuring in the Top Five New Zealand Syrah's Over $35 from Business Desk, named as the Top Syrah New Zealand & Australia in WANDS Blind Panel Tasting and rated in the Top Three NZ Syrah by Decanter Tasting Panel.

It's a beautifully seductive wine, filled with dark forest fruits and impeccable spice. Blank Canvas winemaker Matt Thomson coaxes every little nuance out of this great Gimblett Gravels site.

Supple and smooth enough to enjoy now but certainly something that will develop with bottle age, this is incredibly impressive.

"Stylish and dense, with more complexity surely in store."
- Richard Hemming MW (Jancis Robinson)

"A generously proportioned wine with an appealingly supple texture. Should age well"
- 96 pts, Bob Campbell MW (The Real Review)
