• GOLD Aotearoa Regional Wine Show 2023
• 5 STARS ***** "Ahi Ka is a partnership between specialist grapegrowers and the owners of Blank Canvas. Offering impressive quality and value, the intensely varietal, youthful 2023 vintage (5*) is a single-vineyard wine, grown at Dillons Point. Light lemon/green, it is mouthfilling and vibrant, with very good weight and concentration of ripe, passionfruit/lime flavours, vague salty notes, excellent delicacy and a dry, persistent finish." Michael Cooper
  
• 5 STARS / 19 POINTS "Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is fresh and distinctive, with aromas of gooseberry, tomato vine, green capsicum, stonefruit and floral hints. Medium-light bodied, aromas of peach melded with gooseberry, guava, tomato vine, capsicum and elderflower. The fruit is pure with an elegant presence, enlivening acidity, and flows softly with delicate spice and stony minerals to a harmonious, refreshing closing. This is a classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc presented with elegance and details. Match with diamond clams and sole fish over the next 3 years. Fruit from Blackmore vineyard in Dillons Point fermented to 13% alc. 19/20 pts (95s pts) Dec 2023"{ Candice Chow
