Blind Corner 'Rouge' Cabernet Shiraz Merlot 2020

Tired of seeing vineyards owned by others but that he had been working organically himself, sold from under him, in 2015 Ben Gould took the plunge and purchased an established 20 hectare vineyard at Quindalup in Margare t River. He wasted no time in converting the previously conventional viticulture to organic and biodynamic, while also grafting over portions of established rootstock to varieties such as Aligoté (a Margaret River first) and a Brunello clone of Sangiovese and Pinot Grigio. The vineyard received its Organic Certification in 2017.

“We have no illusions that we’re going to make trophy-winning wines, or the best wines in Western Australia......we’re certainly going to try our very best to make something that’s reflective of where we grow our grapes, and while we don’t always get things spot on, we’re proud to pour our wines to good people.” Ben Gould - Winemaker.

Blind Corner's Rouge is a blend of Cabernet and Shiraz with 5% Merlot. In the main, the wine is drawn from 20+ year-old vines, handpicked, foot-crushed and wild fermented and basket pressed to old oak for a few months before bottling.
