Description

Ben Gould is one of the few producers in the country with a small amount of the rare Burgundian variety, Aligote, in the ground.

This white variety has something of a cult following. In the same way that many Pinot Noir fanciers enjoy Gamay as a quaffing, easy drinking wine, such is the case with Chardonnay lovers and Aligote.

For now, he only has a little to blend with Chardonnay (and the blend works very nicely) and a small portion for a premium release, but his plantings are growing. It will be exciting to see where he takes this fleshy, textural, mineral-driven variety of the coming years.

100% Certified Organic and Biodynamic GinGin Chardonnay and Aligoté, the exact blend is secret. A fresh take on the Classic Margaret River chardonnay.
Wild ferment, concrete egg, seasoned oak, 12 months on lees, no pasteurisation, no fining. Just grapes and a small amount of sulphur. Any questions, ask us!
12.5ish% alc/vol

Like your favourite comedian, this wine has a wonderfully dry delivery and flavourful punchline that will send your tastebuds into the giggles. Lemon balm, crushed oyster shells, grapefruit pith. Like someone zested a lemon over river stones and handed you a glass.

The Chardonnay base offers a full-body mouthfeel, and the Aligoté adds fresh acidity and a subtle lemon curd tang. It’s linear, lively, laser-like, and Ben says this is the best vintage yet.

Dish up and drink with ceviche, tempura veg, fish and chips, or that baguette you bought “for later” and never made it home with.

Ingredients: organic grapes and a whisper of sulphur to keep it fresh and stable

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
