Midnight Call 2011

The Story:

Goodness, I think we are onto a winner here. For the 2011 vintage Midnight Call I moved to a new area. Absolutely spectacular! To get to these vineyards, you drive towards Stellenbosch from Somerset West on the R44, turn right at the Engen Garage and head straight towards the mountains. The vineyards are scattered across little quaint valleys on the Helderberg and Stellenbosch mountains. The wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Thanks to the help of a friend, this is the start of an exiting road towards improving South African Bordeaux within BLANKbottle. Minimalistic, natural winemaking techniques enable this wine to represent the Blaauwklippen Road in all honesty.
