Guests to the Certified Organic and Biodynamic Quindalup vineyard are encouraged to peek behind the scenes into the winery, as well as its bee-hives, chickens, biodynamic veggie patch and bottling line. Tastings in the Cellar Door include alternative grape varieties such as Aligoté, Sangiovese & Pinot Grigio, and styles like Pétillant and Orange* in Colour which Blind Corner has pioneered in the Margaret River wine industry.
Blind Corner is a certified organic and biodynamic vineyard and winery. Owners Ben and Naomi Gould started making wines from their sustainably farmed vineyard 10 years ago. The natural wines and styles they produced in the shed had not been seen in Margaret River before and were polarising for the local industry, earning Ben very few fans amongst the local wineries.
Fast forward 10 years and styles they pioneered, such as Petillant, are being made by a new wave of producers keen to flex their natural muscles, with a few industry stalwarts dipping their toes in the water too. Ben & Naomi now run 24Ha of certified organic & biodynamic vineyards, built a (legal) winery, are raising two young boys & Pippy the dog, adopted a 30-year-old French son (also known as employee #1, Simon), elected Neko the vineyard cat, wrangled Leroy and his flock of hippie chicks, plus rehomed a million or so of Simon’s bees. All whilst developing their natural ethos of minimising outside influences where possible.
