Description
Blank Canvas Anthem Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019 is a standout example of Central Otago’s exceptional Pinot Noir, capturing the essence of the picturesque Gibbston Valley. This wine dazzles with a vibrant bouquet of red cherry, raspberry, and violet, intertwined with savory and sappy notes that enrich its flavor profile. The entry is rich and full, while the palate offers a smooth, mouthwatering experience with a hint of chocolate and a voluptuous finish.
Reflecting the winery's minimalist philosophy, the wine is crafted with wild fermentation and 50% whole-cluster inclusion, aged for 12 months in a mix of new and used French oak barrels. Bottled without filtration, it maintains its natural purity and complexity. Rated up to 95 points by critics, including Bob Campbell and Cameron Douglas MS, this Pinot Noir is celebrated for its youthful vibrancy, elegant structure, and long, harmonious finish. Ideal for pairing with a range of dishes or enjoying on its own, it promises to develop beautifully over the coming years.
