Jason Oliva [Wine]: Anatomy of a [Stripey Horse] bottle

I thought these were cool to look at so I thought you would too. Here are the blue prints for the bottles that I chose for [Stripey Horse] 2008. I am so pleased with my choice now that I have seen the taster sample bottles. The other surprise is that there will be a limited edition of 12 [Stripey Horse] Magnums!

[Stripey Horse] 2008

Hand harvested grapes from high lying environmentally friendly grown Cabernet Franc, Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards, in Stellenbosch, were used to produce this Bordeaux style blend. Bottling was done by hand using customised equipment and natural gravitational flow, therefore eliminating the use of electrical equipment and we used harvested rain water to clean all equipment. This forms part of my EARTH FRIENDLY EARTH CONSCIOUS approach to winemaking and ensuring a small carbon footprint.
