Blank Bottle Confessions Of A White Glove Chaser 2022

What it tastes like 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. Why you should buy it A characterful South African Cabernet blend from cult producer Blank Bottle. It combines elegance and power, offering serious Bordeaux-inspired complexity without the price tag of top-classified growths. What to enjoy it with Roast lamb, ribeye steak, venison, beef short ribs, or mature hard cheeses. Wine Story 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. If you like these, you’ll love this wine Bordeaux Supérieur, Saint-Estèphe, South African Cabernet blends from Stellenbosch, or Cabernet Franc-led wines from the Loire Valley.
