Ratings:James Suckling 95 points

James Suckling praised for its salty, fresh-sea character and persistent finish. He described it as a “sophisticated single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc”.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.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.

The Holdaway Vineyard is owned by the Holdaway family who follow a zero-till philosophy tobuild all-important organic matter and microbial diversity in the soil. The alluvial siltshere are fertile and deep but are well-drained,with plenty of mineral nutrients, which is perfect for nutrient-hungry Sauvignon Blanc.
