Blank Canvas Gift Box

A fine selection of easy drinking Blank Canvas wines. This box includes one Pinot Noir and one Sauvignon Blanc carefully packed into our beautiful Premium Packaging box.

ESCAROTH PINOT NOIR:

A single vineyard expression presenting a complex, pure, intriguing and perfumed bouquet. Light red berry fruits, red apple skin and scents of place with aromas of fine silty clay and sand minerals then complexity from judicious use of oak with light brown kitchen spices followed by aromas of mild toasty barrel and savoury dried herb layer. Equally complex on the palate, tense and youthful with firm textures and velvet mouthfeel from tannins and acidity. Savoury with a core of fruit and flavours that reflect the bouquet. A fine wine with power and finesse, complexity and length.

HOLDAWAY SAUVIGNON BLANC:

Blackcurrant, guava and passionfruit are captured alongside the subtlest hint of oyster-shell. This wine is focused and explosive on both nose and palate yet remains elegantly balanced and distinctly salty.
