EnquiryBlankbottle is owned by Pieter Walser one of the most creative winemakers. He doesn’t own any vineyards but instead he searches every corner of South Africa for grapes. Now, he has a close relationship with farmers from 70 plots and produces over 20 wines from 35 grapes varieties. Every wine from Pieter has a story, and this one is one of them:
One day, Pieter and his team were working hard and late, which happens at harvest time. Sharing a bottle of Riesling from Germany, he asked himself and the other people with him:
Is it possible to be an expert in each and every cultivar if you are making 38 varietals from more than 60 different vineyards - all under the same roof?
The truth is that the idea was never to be a specialist in anything, he just wanted to tell stories - real stories - and the conclusion was that maybe he is, simply, a Master of None.
This is the list of the grapes and where they come from in this crazy fun cuvee:

2021 BLANKbottle, The Spaniard, Western Cape
Blankbottle is owned by Pieter Walser, one of the most creative winemakers. He doesn’t own any vineyards but instead he searches every corner of South Africa for grapes. Now, he has a close relationship with farmers from 70 plots and manages to make over 20 wines from 35 grape varieties. Every wine from Pieter tells a real story.
Cutting a long story short, Pieter Walser very much likes native Spanish grapes such as Mourvedre, Garnacha, Carignan, Cinsault and others. In 2007 he started to produce a wine with only Mourvedre grapes, this Mourvedre grows from a beautiful little bush vine system in Swartland vineyard - planted in pure rugged Schist in the Riebeeck mountains.
Pieter was restricted to buying 1 ton of fruit, which meant only 3 barrels of wine were produced in 2021. Thirty percent of the wine was aged in new oak barrels, producing soft, juicy roundness.
The annual production of this cuvee is only 1373 bottles.

Every wine from Pieter tells a real story.In August 2011, on a farm somewhere between Darling and Hopefield on the West Coast of South Africa, I was visiting a block of grapes, Carignan. I received a SMS from someone who needed me to be in Cape Town within the next hour. Being in the middle of nowhere, I asked the farmer the quickest way to Cape Town. In Afrikaans (one of the 11 official languages of South Africa), the "Kortpad Kaaptoe". He said that I needed to drive towards the Carignan, past the Shiraz and Fernao Pirez...."The FERNAO WHAT???", I asked him? "Fernao Pirez" he replied.

Some intense flavour of dark fruit, smoky, pencil sharper, black pepper, meaty and leather with a great full smooth tannins "Without [Charles] the Swartland would still be regarded as a rural backwater" wrote Tim Atkin, who awarded the winery 'Cru Bourgeois' status in his South Africa Classification in 2018.
