The 2025 Blind Corner Ørange In Colour is a vibrant and expressive skin-contact white from Margaret River, crafted with a biodynamic, minimal intervention philosophy. Made from a field blend dominated by Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc (with small portions of other varieties), it reflects a playful yet thoughtful approach to orange wine — prioritizing texture, freshness and drinkability over heaviness. The nose is highly aromatic and lifted, showing orange peel, citrus zest and tropical fruit alongside chamomile, ginger and subtle spice. There are herbal and floral notes with a lightly savoury edge, giving the wine both vibrancy and complexity.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a gently grippy texture from a few days of skin contact. The fruit is juicy and expressive, with citrus and orchard fruit flavours layered with spice, tea-like tannins and a faintly saline, mineral edge. The structure is lively and textured rather than heavy, leading to a dry, refreshing and persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a perfect “gateway” orange wine — approachable, fun and full of character without being too funky or challenging. Compared to more intense, tannic skin-contact wines, it offers more freshness and drinkability while still delivering texture and complexity. Best served slightly chilled and enjoyed young for its vibrancy. Drink now through 2028+. Excellent with chargrilled vegetables, spicy dishes, fermented foods, seafood or anything with bold, savoury flavours.
