Tasting Notes
Block 8 raises the bar in terms of fruit depth and complexity. It is a very special site that has been maximised with seven clones and a “Crazy” area (for eight sections) and intensive farming. The fruit is very powerful and yet finely compressed. Flamboyant fruit melds with the essence of earth and spice. It's quite an interplay. The palate is precise, tight, lavish, driven and very, very long. The flesh on the bones is succulent but this wine really needs a decade to fly to its best heights. - Winemaker Note
All Bindi wines are grown in our vineyards and made by us at Bindi. Our vines grow in a mix of ancient stony/rocky Ordovician soils and younger volcanic soil. We intensively manage the vines by hand and harvest by hand. We plough under vine and do not use systemic herbicides. We do not use systemic foliage sprays or pesticides. We use compost and compost tea and also use cow horn preparation, fish and seaweed. Our wines are made without adding yeast, yeast nutrient, enzyme or any fining agents. The wines spend many months on yeast lees in old and new French barrels. Our intention is to capture the expression of the Bindi landscape in our wines each season. - Winery Note
