BLANK Bottle, Luuks 2021 Messmer

BLANK Bottle, Luuks 2021 MessmerLuuks is Afrikaans for luxury. Pieter Walser, the genius behind Blank Bottle, felt rich just after having bought his very first brand new barrel back in 2019. He placed it on top of all the older barrels so he could admire it daily. This wine, made in that brand new purchase, is the perfect balance between opulence and freshness. The nose is of white acacia flower and clotted cream. The palate opens with honey and buttered toast. A little warm candied

A full and textural mouthfeel

hints of singed leather and spice

Lightly tannic

but with elegant structure

The palate is packed with juicy red fruit flavours with hints of bitter cherry

The colour is a seductive
