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. They’re focused on crafting 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.
