RED | SEXY WITH SUBSTANCE

Coming from a vineyard block that started work at the same age we'd like to be retiring, this lively, lovely wine is anything but over the hill!

WHAT WE TASTE

Pretty perfume, raspberry leaves, crunchy cassis
PERFECT PAIRING

Smoked duck salad, charred cauliflower, anything with Za'tar on it
TEMP CHECK

A nice chill, please
ABOUT The BLANKBottle Wine Co.

So much of our approach to wine has been inspired by Pieter Walser and his BLANKbottle wines - where the bottles typically don't show the varietal to avoid any preconceived ideas about what people think they like and don't like when it comes to wines. 'You can't judge it by the label; it takes drinking a whole bottle to get to know the wine.' He also designs those labels.
OUR FAVE THINGS ABOUT THIS WINE

Gosh, we love that Pieter believed so much in the fruit from the vineyard. Despite it having been ravaged by birds and/or sheep for many years, Pieter managed to produce his first vintage of this small little block, 65 years after its inception.
THE TECHNICAL STUFF

Place: Darling, Western Cape, South Africa
Grapes: Cinsault and Syrah
Style: Playful with a bit of backbone
Ingredients: Grapes + limited sulphur
