Last night we were captivated and entertained by the brilliantly creative w**emaker, storyteller and artist Pieter Walser of **ery He’s the sort of person that’s had more fantastic ideas before breakfast than most manage in a whole week 😆 and that talent shines through in his w**es. Each of his bottles comes with a true story - often as captivating as they are mystifying, giving you an insight into the magic behind his creative process!

We tasted 6 w**es, all currently available here **es in store and online:

Blankbottle Moment of Silence 2025
Blankbottle Orbitofrontal Cortex 2025
Blankbottle Seelug 2025

A few tickets left for this special South African 🇿🇦 w**emaker tasting next week!

The moment that Pieter Walser realised that people judge w**e labels by which grape variety is stated on it, he made the decision to remove all signs of grape cultivar from the front and back of the bottle - and so BlankBottle W**ery was created.

Having no indication of varietals on the label - leaving it BLANK - removes all preconceptions.

Pieter uses minimal-intervention w**emaking techniques in his cellar enabling him to make w**es that show individuality. He selects grapes from 66 different vineyards, creates 90 separate fermentations in concrete egg, amphora and neutral and new oak. Remarkably, he makes 47 different w**es using spontaneous fermentation, so each w**e tells its own unique story.

We are very excited to have the opportunity to host Pieter Walser to present a w**e tasting here at Cellar Door W**es in St Albans. We will be tasting 7 of Pieter’s vinous creations, including his popular Moment of Silence white blend.

The w**es will be accompanied by generous cheese and charcuterie sharing boards. Please contact Penny and Geraldine directly at the shop if you have any dietary requirements or allergies.
