Vinified from choice Pinot Noir grown to the Original 1988 Vineyard alongside a component from Bindi's newer Block K. Barely 500 to 700 dozen are made each year, a deliciously perfumed, spicy, harmonious and textured forward drinking wine that's true to the style of the estate flagships without being overly complex or intense. Highly pleasurable upon release, a well balanced, firm and long wine offering delicious combinations of flavour, silky textures and fine structure.
Bindi is a 170 hectares near Mt Macedon, six of which are planted to vines. Fifteen hectares are managed plantation eucalypts and the remainder is maintained as indigenous grasslands. The vineyard is the focus but the aim is to maintain balance and harmony between viticulture and wild remnant bush lands. Winemaking is an equal partner to preservation of the natural environment. Composition is handled in the same manner as Bindi's flagship Pinot Noir, completely de-stemmed and gently worked in small open vats, most of which are run as un-inoculated ferments. The wine spends nine months on sedimentery lees and a total of eleven ageing in a selection of new and seasoned French oak barrels.
TASTING NOTES
Deep scarlet colour. Bright red fruits on the bouquet, raspberry, cherries and strawberry, beautiful sweetness and perfume with complex earth and mineral elements. The level of fragrant, Pinot purity is quite wonderful, enhanced by spicy barrel nuances. The palate begins lavish and textural before a mineral drive and grippy tannins.
