Tasting Notes

This blend uses just about every variety of white/grey/gris you can think of - Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc, then blends them in a rolling wild ferment. All skins are left in through the process to add tannin tang and a wonderful mouth texture. The result is a cloudy, yellow/orange-coloured wine that tastes like rainbows and textured like sun.

Blind Corner

Blind Corner Wines, steered by winemaker Ben Gould, stands as a beacon of sustainability in Margaret River, Western Australia. Renowned for their commitment to organic and biodynamic methods, their voyage in viticulture began with the acquisition of a substantial vineyard. This milestone led to the establishment of both a winery and a tasting room. As time progressed, they expanded their facilities, enhancing their winemaking autonomy with an upgraded winery and an in-house bottling line. At the heart of their philosophy lies a commitment to transparency, favoring wild fermentation and minimal intervention. Through relentless experimentation with unorthodox methods and learning from every outcome, they strive to produce wines that are pure and unadulterated. Embracing eco-friendly innovations, they utilize biodiesel made from recycled cooking oil and power their operations with solar energy. Their blend of tradition with modernity is showcased by their use of ancient Georgian Qvevris, reflecting a deep respect for authentic winemaking while pioneering new avenues of innovation.
