Blind Corner 2022 Organic Evangeline - Sans Soufre
Skin contact white
Our favourite grape: Chenin Blanc
Wild ferment, underground Qvevri, beeswax
13ish%alc/vol
Evangeline is your elegant, eccentric aunt who brings a bottle of natural wine to lunch and ends up leading a beach swim at midnight.
Destemmed 100% Certified Organic and Biodynamic Chenin Blanc, two Qvevri buried in the ground (one lined with beeswax), 100 days and 100 nights on skins, and unhinged citrus, honey, peaches hell-bent on freedom are busting outta your glass. Give them a chance to. Maybe even decant her, then sit back, put your tasting face on and get lost in the wacky rainbow of flavours, phenolics, and funk.
Honeyed, textural, golden, and cloudy. It’s the kind of wine that would slide a whiskey down the bar and tell you to keep your chin up, if it could.
Evangeline needs food. Big food for a big wine. Go heavy on the rich, dark meats and vegetables. Oily fish. Lamb tagine. Avoid delicacy.
Ingredients: organic grapes and a whisper of sulphur to keep it fresh and stable
