2024 Ahi Ka Sauvignon Blanc

Matt Thomson, one-half of tearaway NZ label Blank Canvas, is the winemaker behind this drop-dead bargain of a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

Matt thinks this is the best Sauvignon vineyard he has worked with in his extensive international career as a flying winemaker.

Ahi Kā is a pioneering wine venture that collaborates with growers to craft exceptional single-vineyard Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc wines. Co-founded by award-winning winemaker Matt Thomson, Master of Wine Sophie Parker-Thomson (both of Blanc Canvas), and grower John Blackmore, Ahi Kā transforms the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc paradigm, fostering high-quality, ethical, and sustainable partnerships for long-term impact.

"I can honestly say that in all my years of making Sauvignon Blanc throughout all of Marlborough, John's vineyard consistently produces some of the most impressive Sauvignon Blanc and I'm thrilled to be working together with him again on this special project."

"Elegant and detailed but also quietly powerful with linear acidity which tapers down to a grainy, pithy grapefruit-infused finish."
- Stephen Wong (The Real Review)
