Description

Blankbottle BIG SA 2020

The name B.I.G. does not refer to the style of the wine but to the magnitude of the blend. This wine represents Bordeaux from South Africa. The first vintage of this wine was in 2015 and it had six vineyards in the final blend, all Cabernet Sauvignons from different heights above sea level. The blend varies from year to year

The goal was to build a wine that avoids the Green Monster, the dreaded Greenness in Cabernet Sauvignon - a very unwelcome herbaceous / vegetative character

Grape Varietals & Regions: Blankbottle Big SA is a South African red wine that is a blend of seven different Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards, with a splash of Cabernet Franc.

Taste Profile: This wine has a complex nose of black fruit, cassis, and cedar, with a full-bodied and silky palate that features flavors of black currant, plum, and a hint of tobacco. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, leading to a long and elegant finish.

Winemaking Process: Grapes from different vineyards are pressed & vinified seperately, aged in French oak for one and a half years - picked mainly when we thought the grapes tasted best
