Founded in 2013 by married couple Sophie Parker-Thomas MW and winemaker Matt Thomson, Blank Canvas is a winery located in the Marlborough wine region of New Zealand's South Island. The company partners with local producers in Marlborough, Hawke's Bay and Central Otago to produce a selection of single vineyard wines (including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir, and Syrah) that express the multitude of terroirs and microclimates of the various vineyards.
The Chardonnay grapes come from the Reed vineyard, which has been planted since 2000 in the Marlborough wine region. This wine, considered one of the best New Zealand Chardonnays, shows great elegance and gastronomic versatility.
The color is intense and the scents are captivating. On the nose, the flavor profile is powerful and reveals stone fruit and sweet citrus aromas with a delicate spiciness. Aging in oak barrels adds tertiary notes of spice and a smoky woody undertone. In the mouth, this Chardonnay is full, complex, round, and balanced. The flavor is a perfect combination of stone fruit, grapefruit, baked apple, and spice paired with French oak. The acidity is lively and the finish is long and pleasant. It goes beautifully with chicken and turkey meat dishes served with creamy sauces, or pasta carbonara.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
