Tasting Notes
This is a deeply sentimental wine from a vineyard planted in a time of great emotion for loved family. It sits alongside our house and pays tribute to a beautiful mentor and the Bindi founder, Darshan Dhillon. In some ways it's a dialled up Original Vineyard; wonderful perfume and charm across the palate. The 2021 Darshan is super pure, shows rose petal fragrance, is quite spicy and has fruits in the red cherry and raspberry spectrum. It is very pure and fresh. The palate is textured and lavish, fresh, vibrant, intense, very long and flowing. It will take six years to fully settle and will drink beautifully for a few decades. - 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
