About this Wine

Ben and Naomi Gould’s progressive, biodynamic Margaret River estate remains too far under the radar for our liking. After all, in a time when we care more and more about where our wine comes from and how it is made, Blind Corner ticks a hell of a lot of boxes. For a start, the vineyards are exceptionally well cared for—Blind Corner’s Wilyabrup and Quindalup vineyards are certified organic and biodynamic—pretty rare in Margaret River. And, the wines are exceptionally well made, with any additions (of which there are exceedingly few) transparently listed on their website. And we really don’t need to tell you about the value on offer.

Anyway, Blanc is Ben Gould’s riff on the Margaret River Classic Dry White—but replace ‘classic’ with ‘delicious’, and you’ll get closer. This year’s blend is 98% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Chenin Blanc. Both parcels were drawn from blocks of established 20-plus-year-old biodynamic vines at Quindalup on soils of sand and gravel over granite.

After handpicking, each variety is naturally fermented in stainless steel, then blended and bottled without fining. Gould utilised a nip of skin contact to add colour and complexity.

Margaret River Wine

In the southwest of Western Australia, the Margaret River wine region is unique in that it is the most maritime-influenced region in all of Australia. The cool Indian ocean breezes come in through the summer to keep the temperatures around the vines steady resulting in an unusually even accumulation of warmth in the growing season. It is also quite dry as interestingly less than 20% of the annual rainfall occurs as the grapes are growing. The region’s climatic factors have been compared to what Bordeaux would be like in a dry season. While the region’s total production is relatively small (3% of Australia’s total wine production), it is responsible for 20% of our premium wine market.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz as well as Bordeaux blends are all very popular red wine options in the region.

For whites, refreshing blends of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon as well as complex, age worthy Chardonnays are the specialties.
