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.

Winemakers Notes
Abstract is a study in terroir refined by deliberate, restrained winemaking to showcase fruit purity and textural depth. Hand-harvested from the Abstract block on 31 March 2023, the fruit was whole-bunch pressed and the pristine free-run juice sent straight to French oak puncheons (15% new) without settling.
Fermentation was left to wild yeast, beginning naturally after 3–5 days, and the wine completed natural malolactic fermentation during the warmer spring months. The wine matured on fine lees for 15 months with no stirring, was gently racked off lees and bottled unfiltered on 9 July 2024 delivering textural complexity, precision and the structure for long ageing.
