Shiraz-Viognier by another name. Blind Corner’s Field Blend is drawn from a single block of 25-year-old, dry-grown Shiraz with one row of Viognier, rooted in the gravel- and granite-rich soil of Blind Corner's Wilyabrup vineyard, certified organic and biodynamic since 2016. When harvested, the single row of Viognier is handpicked separately and sandwiched evenly between the picking bins of Shiraz. The grapes are foot-crushed in small, half-tonne ferments and hand-plunged up to three times a day. Before fermentation is complete, the wine is gently basket-pressed to seasoned French oak for ten months. It then settles out in tank before going to bottle with minimal sulphites added. It matures for nine months before release.

Reviews

“… shiraz, again, but this time bolstered with a small addition of viognier. The resulting wine is smooth, supple and fragrant. It’s slick with fleshy cherry and plummy flavours and a lift of light stone-fruit character assumed from the white grape inclusion. It defies many of the dry red shiraz renditions common in Margaret River.”
