The 2025 Blind Corner Rouge is an expressive Western Australian red showing red cherry, raspberry and plum alongside violet, dried herbs, subtle pepper and earthy spice. Its bright fruit character is balanced by fresh acidity and supple tannins, while savoury and mineral nuances add depth and complexity. The wine has an energetic, approachable style with a strong focus on freshness and drinkability.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied and finely textured, with lively acidity, soft tannins and layers of red and dark fruit. Raspberry and cherry are complemented by ripe plum, dried herbs and gentle peppery spice, while subtle earthy and mineral notes develop through the mid-palate. The texture is juicy and supple, with enough structure to provide shape without overpowering the fresh fruit. The finish is dry, clean and persistent, with lingering red berry, savoury herb and mineral notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for drinkers who enjoy fresh, approachable Australian reds with vibrant fruit and savoury character. It is best enjoyed young while the fruit remains bright and expressive, and can be served slightly chilled for extra freshness. Best enjoyed over the next 2–4 years. Pair with roast chicken, pork and fennel sausages, duck with lentils, grilled lamb skewers, mushroom and thyme tart, or roasted eggplant with tomato and fresh herbs.
