Blind Corner Wilyabrup Field Blend 2017
Shiraz-Viognier by another name. Blind Corner's Field Blend is drawn from a single block of 25-year-old dry-grown Shiraz with one row of Viognier, rooted in the gravel, granite-rich soil of Blind Corner's Wilyabrup vineyard, certified organic and biodynamic in 2016. When harvested, the single row of Viognier is handpicked separately and sandwiched evenly between the picking bins of Shiraz. The grapes are foot-crushed in small, half-tonne ferments and hand-plunged up to three times a day. Before ferment is complete, the wine is gently basket pressed to seasoned French oak for ten months. It is then settled out in tank prior to bottling, where it goes to bottle with only minimal sulphites added, maturing for nine months before release.

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.
