2022 Petillant Chenin Blanc
Like unicorn tears filtered through weaves of angel hair, this Petillant might be hard to make, but the results are what myths are made of. Sweet in taste and pastel in colour, it makes a hot day cool and a cool day life at the beach. First, we take the pressings portion of the Chenin and wild-ferment it in barrels. Then we freeze a bucket of Shiraz juice for good measure as well. Once dry, or really really close, we immediately add more juice, blend the barrels and bottle. This way the wine keeps fermenting, but finishes in bottle, trapping the CO2 trying to escape and making it bubbly.- Blind Corner
2021 Chardonnay Aligoté
“This wine has a wonderfully dry delivery and flavourful punchline that will send your tastebuds into the giggles. It’s Chardonnay base offers a full-body mouthfeel, with the Aligoté adding citrus notes for a subtle tang. It is made from a single block of wild-fermented Chardonnay, which is slowly being overtaken by Aligoté grafts, all wild fermented in barrel and rough filtered to bottle, keeping the wine as close to the vineyard as possible.” – Blind Corner
2022 Nouveau Shiraz
Maintaining its rugged heart underneath, this early-release Shiraz is fermented at 5 degrees Celsius for 2 weeks before crushing. During this time the grapes go through 'Carbonic Maceration', which effectively ferments inside each grape until the oxygen runs out. This helps trap fresh fruity flavours and bright colours. Then we jump on the grapes and come back in the morning to basket press them, before maturing in oak barrels. The wine is fresh & clean, yet complex like any ex-con. Get one bottle for yourself and one for your parole officer. Drink it cold.
2019 SANS SOUFRE SHIRAZ
“Shiraz grapes are fermented for a smooth finish with oak tannins in the back. It ages just as well as any other wine when sealed in the bottle, but once you pull the ripcord, you’ll want to finish it within a couple of days. Chances are, it will only last a couple of hours anyway - it’s that yummy. Perfect for red-lovers wanting pure flavour with nothing else added. Jump in fast though, with only a handful of cases made, it will disappear quicker than a raindrop off a waterfall. – Blind Corner
2022 Blanc
“A classic dry white, with enough sweetness to give your taste buds something to dance around. The fruit comes from our Quindalup vineyard and is simply made in a stainless-steel tank for freshness.” – Blind Corner
2022 Orange in colour
“This blend uses just about every variety of white/grey/gris you can think of - Pinot Gris, Sauv Blanc & Chenin, 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. We blend this bit with 3x neutral wild ferment vessel action and add a teeny dash - like teeny - of some estate grown Cabernet to bring it home and makes your eyes understand what your tongue is trying to tell you.” – Blind Corner
2021 rouge
“Some partnerships create a magic that could never be realised alone - bacon and eggs, surf and sunshine, Siegfried and Roy. Shiraz &Cabernet Sauvignon is another match that delivers something greater than the sum of its parts. Blend the rich upfront flavour and lingering aftertaste of Cabernet, with the silky softness consistency of Shiraz & Merlot, and you have a Rouge of super delicious deliciousness.” – Blind Corner
