Blank BottleStellenbosch, South Africa
Why you'll love it
A characterful South African Cabernet blend from cult producer Blank Bottle. It combines elegance and power, offering serious Bordeaux-inspired complexity.
Blackcurrant, cassis, plum, graphite, bay leaf, and subtle tobacco notes. Rich and concentrated, with velvety tannins, fresh acidity, and a savoury finish that feels reminiscent of a modern Bordeaux blend.
Roast lamb, ribeye steak, venison, beef short ribs, or mature hard cheeses.
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.
South Africa
The Napa Valley of South Africa — beautiful, prestigious, home to many of the country's most celebrated estates. Granite and sandstone soils, cooling maritime influence from False Bay, and a commitment to Cabernet and Chenin Blanc that results in some of the southern hemisphere's finest wines.
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 →Winemaker Pieter Walser created this wine after noticing vineyard crews wearing white gloves while harvesting premium Helderberg vineyards. Without the budget for consultants, he followed the "white glove" teams and sourced fruit from neighbouring sites. The 2022 is a blend of 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon from the lower slopes of the Helderberg overlooking False Bay.
