If classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is all fruit and zing, Abstract exists in another dimension altogether. It’s our savoury blanc, where texture and aromatic complexity bedazzle, and where vineyard and winemaking contribute equally. There’s an intense and seductive perfume of blackcurrant and white florals, while winemaking lends savouriness and flinty minerality. The must is wild fermented in French oak puncheons and matured on lees for 15 months, delivering a sumptuous richness and complexity to the palate. With elegance and beautiful balance, it is for enjoyment now but will age with grace and dignity.
