Ben's take on the traditional Portuguese hero
- Big rich, juicy and textured, this Touriga sings out gorgeous Port-like qualities. No wonder! Think of a savoury spin on Christmas cake, with a nose of dark fruits, herb and spice notes.
- Ben sourced the grapes from a single vineyard in Donnybrook, Geographe. He had too much fun with this one; hand plunging the grapes, leaving them to wild ferment, then basket pressing to barrel for a year.
- The result of all this old school TLC? It's hard to find a comparable benchmark anywhere. Unicorn tears might come close! This is a favourite in the Gould household, and there simply isn't much of this stunner lying around. Get on the Blindside quick!

Meet the winemaker - Ben Gould
- Ben & Naomi Gould are WA winemakers with 20+ vintages under their belts. They farm and make wine the wild, organic way (with Naomi’s green thumb and Ben’s stubborn focus on flavour).
- From Gourmet Traveller’s ‘Best of the Best’ (2011) to Max Allen’s, “...swag of wines that blew me away”, they’re not here for fluff, just alive, honest, WA wines.
- Thanks to Angel support they have grown from a tiny vineyard to a bigger one, converted it to organic and biodynamic, and can focus on making wines with maximum flavour and minimum inputs.
