Blank BottleWestern Cape, South Africa
Why you'll love it
A bold, Bordeaux-inspired Cabernet blend that delivers exceptional depth and complexity. Despite its richness, it remains balanced and elegant, making it a great choice for lovers of classic Cabernet.
Powerful and concentrated with cassis, blackberry, plum, cedar, graphite, and dark chocolate. Full-bodied with firm yet polished tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, savoury finish.
Ribeye steak, roast beef, venison, slow-cooked lamb, or mature Cheddar.
Best known in Loire Valley, Bordeaux
Lighter and more fragrant than its famous offspring, Cabernet Sauvignon. Red berries, violets, graphite and a leafy freshness. In the Loire it shines on its own; in Bordeaux it adds perfume to the blend.
Best known in Bordeaux, Napa Valley, Coonawarra
The backbone of Bordeaux and the world's most famous red grape. Blackcurrant, cedar and firm tannins, with real ageing potential. Riper climates give plusher fruit; cooler ones more structure and leafy freshness.
Best known in Bordeaux, Australia, Spain
A Bordeaux blending grape used in small doses for colour, spice and structure. Deep violet, with blackcurrant, violets and firm tannins. In warmer places such as Australia and Spain it ripens fully and makes powerful wines on its own.
Best known in Northern Rhône, Washington State
A dark, spicy red grape. Blackberry, black pepper, smoked meat and violets, with firm structure. Elegant and savoury in the Northern Rhône, in places like Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie; in Australia the same grape goes by Shiraz.
South Africa
South Africa's wine heartland, encompassing everything from the cool coastal valleys to the warmer inland sites. Extraordinarily diverse in climate and soil: a single appellation that contains multitudes — from delicate Elgin Pinot to muscular Swartland reds.
Western Cape, South Africa
Pieter Walser makes Blank Bottle wines in South Africa's Western Cape, with natural fermentation in amphora, concrete and old oak. He works often with old bush vines and likes an unconventional blend. We stock a wide range, from B.I.G. Cabernet to Orbitofrontal Cortex.
More from Blank Bottle →The name B.I.G. does not refer to the style of the wine but to the magnitude of the blend. This wine represents Bordeaux from South Africa. Made by Pieter Walser of Blank Bottle, B.I.G. is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from various vineyards in Stellenbosch, Ceres and Tulbagh. Separate wines are made from each region, which are later blended and aged.
