Blank Canvas appoints Blanc Distribution

New Zealand fine wine producer Blank Canvas has appointed Blanc Distribution as its new partner in New Zealand.

The partnership took effect on 1 June and Blank Canvas founders, Matt Thomson and Sophie Parker-Thomson MW, say they are excited to be working with Blanc owner/founder Angie Atkinson and her team.

“Angie’s reputation, depth of experience, and finely honed understanding of the on-premise market make Blanc Distribution an exceptional partner for us. Our wines are crafted with restaurants at the forefront of mind – site-driven, expressive and built for the table. It’s essential we have a distributor who truly understands that context.”

Blank Canvas wines are featured in some of the world’s top Michelin-starred restaurants across Europe and Asia and the founders say they are looking forward to building a strong and meaningful presence in New Zealand, showcasing their portfolio of single-vineyard wines from Marlborough, Hawke’s Bay and Central Otago.

They sit beautifully in the premium on-premise environment, and we’re proud to be entrusted with growing their presence in key New Zealand markets.”
