The BLANKbottle concept started in 2004, driven by a direct interactive dynamic between winemaker and the adventurous wine drinker. It soon proved itself as a good vehicle in the quest for sustained innovation. As owner-winemaker, I form alliances with vineyards, winemakers and wineries all over South Africa and then craft unique blends of premium character. As the name implies, BLANKbottle leaves you in the dark about the cultivar, region and year of vintage, giving you no label to go by, only your taste! I sell straight to the consumer only, mainly via my internet website. It’s here where you’ll find the full story behind your BLANKbottle by searching under its unique BATCH NAME.
