About this Wine

Whatever you think this price should get you, this easy, juicy red should raise your expectations. Vivid primary notes, high-toned fragrance and seamless texture is the name of the game here, with organic and biodynamic credentials thrown in as a bonus. The Gould’s Rouge is a blend of Quindalup Shiraz (44%), Merlot (43%) and a smidge of Cabernet Sauvignon (13%), with less than 60ppm SO2 as the only addition. In the main, the fruit was drawn from 20+-year-old vines, all handpicked, foot crushed and wild-fermented in large open fermenters. The fruit was then basket-pressed to old oak for nine months before blending and bottling.

At this price point, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon is a match that can deliver something greater than the sum of its parts, something not lost on Ben Gould, who takes the rich upfront flavour and lingering aftertaste of Margaret River Cabernet, weaves in the silky spice of Shiraz, and adds a splash of vibrant plummy Merlot, to create this delicious organic value.

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.
