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 Margaret River. He wasted no time in converting the previousl y conventional viticulture to organic and biodynamic, while also grafting over portions of established rootstock to varieties such as Aligot? (a Margaret River first) and a Brunello clone of Sangiovese and Pinot Grigio . The vineyard received its Organic Certification in 2017.
This outstanding-value wine is Ben Gould’s riff on the Margaret River Classic Dry White—but replace ‘classic’ with ‘delicious’, and you’ll get closer. This year’s blend is 86% Sauvignon Blanc and 14% Semillon. Both come from blocks of established 20-plus-year-old biodynamic vines at Quindalup on soils of sand and gravel over granite. After harvesting by hand, the fruit was pressed to a combination of stainless steel, old French barriques and a concrete egg for fermentation. Once the wines completed malolactic conversion, they were blended and bottled without fining.
"A very refreshing change up. Primary fruits feel a touch throttled but the wine is all the better for it. Calm, balanced, dry fruit juice, long(ish) palate lenght with some lemon/lime/bitters character." Stewart @ GSW
