The moment that Pieter Walser realised that people judge wine labels by which grape variety is stated on it, he made the decision to remove all signs of grape cultivar from the front and back of the bottle - and so BlankBottle Winery was created.
Having no indication of varietals on the label - leaving it BLANK - removes all preconceptions.
Pieter uses minimal-intervention winemaking techniques in his cellar enabling him to make wines that show individuality. He selects grapes from 66 different vineyards, creates 90 separate fermentations in concrete egg, amphora and neutral and new oak. Remarkably, he makes 47 different wines using spontaneous fermentation, so each wine tells its own unique story.
