Blank Canvas Gruner Veltliner

Blank Canvas is a collaboration between Master of Wine Sophie Parker-Thomson and her husband, award-winning, international winemaking consultant Matt Thomson. With over 40 years of collective experience in the global wine industry, they produce small-batch fine wines from exceptional single vineyard sites throughout New Zealand, under this ‘art-meets-science’ project. Matt has worked over 50 vintages in numerous wine regions worldwide. He has also worked with David Gleave since 1994 and is involved with many wineries in the Liberty Wines portfolio, primarily as a consultant. Sophie travels extensively in Europe and has worked with Matt since 2011, leaving her career in law behind her. This international experience is the founding inspiration for Blank Canvas.
