Blind Corner is a trailblazing organic and biodynamic winery in Margaret River, focused on sustainable practices and minimal intervention. Known for crafting unique and expressive wines, they have breathed new life into Aligoté, a variety traditionally overshadowed by Chardonnay. This 2019 release is a testament to their innovative spirit, offering a fresh, textured, and characterful take on this rare varietal in Australia.
Flavour Profile:
- Appearance: Pale gold with a bright, clear hue.
- Nose: Aromatic and fresh, with notes of green apple, Meyer lemon, and white peach, layered with hints of honeysuckle, wet stone, and a touch of brioche.
- Palate: Crisp and mineral-driven, featuring a zesty citrus core balanced by a creamy texture from lees aging. Nuances of pear, almond, and a saline edge add depth and complexity, leading to a long, refreshing finish.
Conclusion:
A bright, expressive Aligoté with a perfect balance of tension and texture. Blind Corner’s approach has resulted in a wine that is both lively and nuanced, making it a rare and exciting find for adventurous wine lovers.
Inspiring Food Pairing Ideas:
This Aligoté pairs beautifully with fresh seafood like grilled scallops, oysters, and ceviche. It also complements light poultry dishes, creamy goat cheese, or asparagus risotto. For a unique pairing, try it with sushi, tempura, or a citrus-dressed salad to enhance its vibrant acidity and mineral elegance.
