Confessions of a White Glove Chaser”, is made up from 3 individual parcels of grapes. On the winemaker side: A confession that I am a white glove chaser. Mainly Cabernet with quite a bit of Cinsault. And to fill out the mid pallet: some Blaauwklippen road Malbec and Helderberg Cabernet Franc. A really great wine. Fully drinkable now but will only start to reveal its true colours in a year and will age well for years to come.The BlankBottle Confessions of a White Glove Chaser is the best wine Pieter ever made ! Absolutely spectacular!
How the wine is made:There are few aspects of how this wine was made changes the style compared to most Cabernet's out there. 0% new oak was used - all aged in small French oak 9 year old barrels for 15 months. The wine was held on the grape skins after alcoholic fermentation for 1 month. From grape to wine there was nothing except a bit of sulphur added. The wine, like all my wines, handmade, hand bottled and hand labelled - by the colourful people of South Africa.
