Coming Soon - 2022 Bindi Block 8 Pinot Noir

Bindi is one of Australia’s most respected small estates, producing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir of purity and finesse. The vines grow in a mix of ancient Ordovician soils and volcanic slopes in the Macedon Ranges, farmed with sustainable, low-intervention methods and intensive handwork. In the winery, natural fermentations, long lees ageing, and gentle handling capture the seasonal expression of this remarkable landscape.
The Block 8 Pinot Noir is sourced from their newer 2016 "high-density" vineyard planting. This block is planted with 8,888 vines (composed of 7 different clones) and is the eighth block established at Bindi. It includes a section of “Crazy” 22,600 vines per hectare experimental section, truly pushing the limits of extreme viticulture. Fruit is fermented in open vats and matured in French oak barrels of which 50% are new for a period of 15-17 months.
The 2022 Block 8 offers an exotic aromatic profile with hints of red fruits, herbs, and floral lift. Expect a creamy, vibrant palate carried by velvety tannins that build into a long finish. While approachable now, it is suggested that further complexity will develop over the next five years, with the wine continuing to drink beautifully well beyond.
