Blind Corner Ørange In Colour 2023

Blind Corner Ørange In Colour is a skin-fermented blend of Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay from a single Margaret River vineyard.

From 2023 the fruit is entirely the Goulds' own, off the Quindalup vineyard they call home, which is worth noting since earlier releases leaned on bought-in organic parcels. The site is certified organic and biodynamic, sand over pea gravel on a granite base. The blend shifts too, to 80 per cent Chenin Blanc and 20 per cent Chardonnay, giving a broader and more textural wine than the Sauvignon-led versions. Hand-harvested fruit fermented spontaneously on skins, plunged by hand for the first few days, then pressed to tank and barrique, with full malolactic conversion.

Flavour-packed and lip-smacking, with poached pear, citrus rind and a nutty edge from the barrel, finishing juicy and dry. Serve at 12 degrees. Roast pork, pumpkin with feta, or a chicken tagine with plenty of coriander all work.
