Ben Gould loves a bit of skin contact... If you've ever wondered what the whole 'orange' or amber wine style is about, here's a risk free way to dip you toe in at a great price. It's a blend of white and grey grapes like Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin, that are fermented on skins before bing blended. While some of these wines can be a little confronting at first, this is fresh, lightly crunchy and built as a perfect introduction to the style. It's got just enough tannin, just enough colour, and more than the right amount of deliciousness for an amber wine at this price.

Wild-yeast fermented, and matured in French oak for 6 months. What's the catch, other than a plenitude of Margaret River chardonnay? It's varietal, it's balanced and it's long. Fantastic value. Alcohol: 12.5%. Closure: screwcap. Date tasted: Aug 2022. Drink by: 2026. Price: $18. Rating: 94/100.
