About the wine
Red wine with a twist
- A blend of Merlot and Cabernet with a touch of Touriga Nacional. Luscious drinking, rich, generous, smooth, with rustic tannins from the Ripasso technique
- Ben is a bit of a marverick in the Margaret River and with the help of Angel Funding he can show his wares to many more people. His skill deserves to be shared
- Made using a technique called 'Ripasso'. This method involves fermenting the wine with extra skins that have been air-dried prior. We air-dry the grapes into sultanas for another wine, but because there is so much flavour left in the skins, we re-use them in the Ripasso. It means 'to re-pass'

Wine profile
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.
