2021 Blank Bottle Pierre Le Cois
£36.50
“Pierre Le Cois is one of a number of site-specific Bordeaux style blends from Pieter Walser, sourced from a vineyard that has both east and west-facing components. Curated in 30% new oak, it has the backbone, freshness and energy to age well in bottle, with dark chocolate, damson and blueberry flavours and top notes of fynbos and dried herbs.”
93 Points, Tim Atkin MW
“The 2021 Pierre Le Cois, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, presents a refined and fresh profile with mineral nuances and notes of redcurrant, crème de cassis, graphite and pencil shavings. This rustic yet fresh wine showcases its red fruit character and is expected to remain food-friendly for over a decade. It boasts a medium to full-bodied presence, with a tannic structure, lively acidity and a long, spicy finish. In essence, it’s a wine that overdelivers. After spending 18 months in oak, with 35% new, a total of 2,667 bottles were produced.”

Product Description
A Bordeaux blend from one farm on the Helderberg mountain that has deep, iron-rich clay soil – perfect for water retention. The grapes are organically farmed and aged for 18 months in 40% new oak and 60% older oak barrels. This wine is dedicated to farmers all over the world. Here’s why: ‘The X-factor – The PIERRE-LE-COIS-EFFECT as I call it. The guy and nowadays often, the girl in the bakkie. The eyes who look holistically at the big picture and apply knowledge and experience within the comfort of like minded wise minds – enabling the application of practices to guide these vines to the ultimate expression of themselves. Season upon season.’ Pieter Walser, Owner and Winemaker.
