Blind Corner Nouveau 2023

Blind Corner Nouveau is a light, juicy Shiraz made by whole-bunch carbonic fermentation in Margaret River.

The Shiraz comes off a small parcel of vines over twenty years old at the Goulds' Wilyabrup home vineyard, four kilometres from the Indian Ocean, where sandy, rocky soil sits over granite and the whole property is certified organic and biodynamic. Fruit goes into a sealed fermenter whole, straight off the vine, and stays shut up for fourteen days. That is carbonic maceration, the method behind Beaujolais Nouveau, which draws out colour and fruit without much tannin. It is then crushed by foot, pressed to seasoned barriques, and given six months before release.

Crunchy red fruit, a little earth, very light tannin. This is a red to drink by the glass, not to think about. Twenty minutes in the fridge first, then serve at 13 to 14 degrees with charcuterie, roast chicken, or pizza.
