BLANKBottle
BLANKbottle has broken just about every mould there is with close to 40 different wines produced every year and almost half of them never to be repeated. No label bares information about grape varietal(s) or blend. It all started in 2004 when a lady came to Pieter to buy some wine and asked for anything but Shiraz. “I don’t drink Shiraz” were her exact words. Pieter poured her a glass of wine. She loved it and bought 3 cases. It was 100% Shiraz. Pieter says: “It’s true, we do judge a book by its cover”. This is why Walser only indicates whether the bottle is red or white – he never gives mention to the grape varietal(s). “I want nothing on my labels”.
Description
"The story behind Familiemoord - Family Murder - deserves a note all to itself, but space is at a premium in this report! This daringly refined Piekenierskloof Grenache from Braam Marais' farm has flavours of raspberry, hibiscus and rooibos tea, lots of stony minerality from sandstone and granite soils and a tug of underlying tannins. 2023-29" Tim Atkin
Food Pairing
A pleasure wine to drink on its owns, but also delicious with slow cooked furred game, red meat and roasted vegetables, wild mushrooms and risotto; also with red mould cheese and bleu.
