As you know, BLANKbottle develops through the dynamics of my life journeys and friendships - each wine an expression of these priceless discoveries. 2009, at the annual Vintners Surf Classic I met a guy called Albert Ahrens who, at the time, had been making Swartland wines for 7 years straight. Through yet another BLANKbottle friendship, iron gates to some of the Swartland’s best vineyards were unlocked. And hence was born BLACK and THE WHITE BLACK. Although in a total different price category to other BLANKbottle wines, I’m sticking to my promise of over-delivering on wine quality for price. It may be my objective opinion, would love to hear what you think.
These two wines are a combination of 11 expensive vineyards within the Swartland area and were aged in the best barrels money can buy. Both carry the characteristics of a typical Swartland white and Swartland red; wines with patriotic personality and character. We produced a very limited amount of these wines with 23% of the stock already allocated before release. To match the wine quality we had to go all out with the packaging - designing the atypical labels ourselves, authentic wax jobs on the bottle necks, wrapped in tissue paper, secured by another wax job done by hand. These wines are again exclusive to the BLANKbottle community.
