The Pink Bomb

This rosé pairs well with a variety of dishes, including seafood, light salads, and Mediterranean cuisine. Its freshness and balance make it a versatile companion for both casual and formal dining.

The grapes for this wine are sourced from a single vineyard located at 687 meters above sea level in the Piekenierskloof region. The old bush vines are planted on sandstone soils, benefiting from high sun intensity, cool nights, and dry farming conditions, which contribute to the wine's unique character.

The wine was aged on the lees for 10 months in old French oak barrels, enhancing its complexity and mouthfeel.

After harvesting at optimal ripeness, the grapes were cooled overnight to 4°C. The following morning, they were destemmed and crushed into an open-top fermenter. As the tank filled, the free-run juice was separated and transferred into another tank. Fermentation occurred spontaneously in old French oak barrels, and the wine was aged on the lees for 10 months before blending and bottling.

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”.
