NOTHING TO DECLARE 2010
The grapes for this wine; “Nothing to Declare 2010” were handpicked from exquisite Swartland and Voor Paardeberg vineyards, pressed in a basket press, barrel fermented using only the natural yeast present on the grapes, no additives (except for a little bit of Sulphur), aged for one year in older barrels and blended and bottled in January 2011. It's a blend of Chenin blanc and something very interesting. The StoryTo have nothing to declare could mean one of two things: a. I'm doing something illegal or b. I choose to withhold information from you. As with all BLANKbottle wines, it means the latter. "Nothing to Declare 2010" - a blend of Chenin blanc and a very interesting varietal. Let's leave it at that for the time being.
The wine is a winter white made in an oxidative way (exposure to limited amounts of oxygen in the early stages of winemaking). The result: a big, round and spicy wine. Perfect partner to spicy dishes.
