Blank BottleWestern Cape, South Africa
Why you'll love it
Crafted by Pieter Walser of BLANKbottle, this wine is fermented without stems and aged in older French oak barrels for less than a year, resulting in an extracted yet fresh and complex profile.
A 100% Malbec from Stellenbosch's Helderberg slopes, offering aromas of dark chocolate-dipped oranges, mint, violets, and a sweet, perfumed nose. The palate is medium-full bodied, showcasing the softer side of Malbec with gentle tannins, good freshness, and a rounded mouthfeel.
Pairs well with beef, lamb, or poultry dishes.
Best known in Mendoza, Cahors
Argentina's signature red. Dark plum, blackberry and violets, with a soft, velvety texture that makes it very easy to like, with high-altitude Mendoza vineyards keeping it fresh. In its original home, Cahors, it makes firmer, darker and more rustic wines.
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.
