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
"Little William showcases the Syrah from Marge MacDonald's farm at 750 metres on the Ceres Plateau. Fermented with 60% whole bunches, it's for people who like fynbos and white pepper notes in their reds. Taut and focused, it has damson and black cherry flavours, subtle 10% new French oak and a spicy, sappy finish. 2024-30" Tim Atkin
