About this Wine

Ben Gould’s affinity with all things Italian is plain to see. Not only is the Goulds’ Wilyabrup vineyard in Margaret River home to plantings of Sangiovese (Brunello clone cuttings shipped by Ben) and Pinot Grigio, but the Blind Corner range includes wines made using the ancient techniques of ramato, ripasso and appassimento. Ben’s winemaking experience in the country way back when obviously made a lasting impression!

Only eight rows of dry-grown Sangiovese are planted in the 30-hectare (18 under vine), organic- and biodynamic-certified Wilyabrup vineyard, which lies on the coastal flats just four kilometres from the Indian Ocean. The soils are stony with layers of pea gravel and sand over a hard granite base. The fruit is destemmed and crushed by foot in open pot fermenters. Plunging takes place once a day for six days before the wine is pressed to seasoned oak, where it rests for 12 months before bottling. It’s a deliciously expressive, jubey red wine loaded with sweet cherry fruit and a spicy, peppery close.

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.
