Description

Bindi has become one of the Macedon Ranges' most iconic wineries since it's first plantings took root in 1988.

The Bindi Original Vineyard Pinot Noir is sourced exclusively from the '88 plantings. It's a wine of intensity and savoury structure, the long ripening time in the region giving the fruit an immense depth of flavour and silky texture which has been captured beautifully in the bottle by winemaker Michael Dhillon.

It unfurls beautifully in the glass to reveal a kaleidoscope of Pinot Noir flavours, from dusty, earthen tones, to sweet red fruit. It's one of the region's and the country's finest Pinot Noirs, no doubt about it.

"Purity and tension stand out here, with layers of cherries, pomegranates, hibiscus, rose hips, crushed stones, citrus peel and orange blossoms. The palate is mid-weighted, with finely framed tannins and balanced acidity that bring the textural mouthfeel together around a strong, mineral-touched core of red fruit. Elegant and pretty, underpinned by power, with a silken, smoothly integrated structure and a fine edge of spices and earth. Complete and potent today, with many years ahead. Excellent. Drink or hold."

95 points - "This is drinking beautifully now so don’t wait. Pour a glass, sit back and take in all the heady aromas of black cherries, Campari and chinotto, fresh herbs and warm spices plus oak (not much, just acting as a seasoning). The mid-weighted palate comes saturated with sweet fruit and plentiful tannins, with a touch of wintergreen/walnut on the finish. It’s fresh and cleansing thanks to the flow of acidity. A lovely drink." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)
