"This is a deeply sentimental wine from a vineyard planted in a time of great emotion. Darshan, an incredibly close planted vineyard (from 11,300 to 22,600 vines per hectare), sits alongside our house and pays tribute to our beautiful mentor and the Bindi founder, Bill Dhillon. The 2017 has a complex array of aromas; wild strawberry, black cherry, dried flowers, leather, a touch of prune. The palate shows the benefit of seven years, for it is silky smooth whilst retaining freshness and energy. The palate is very long and beautifully textured with fine, supple and persistent tannins. The 2017 season was long, cool and fine, as is the wine, showing the elegance of the year. History gives evidence that this 2017 will continue to drink beautifully for half a dozen more years and, when well cellared, beyond." - Michael Dhillon
All Bindi wines are grown in our vineyards and made by us at Bindi. Bindi vines grow in a mix of ancient stony 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 herbicides or systemic pesticides. We use compost, compost tea and cow horn preparation, fish and seaweed. Our wines are made without adding yeast, yeast nutrient, enzyme or fining agents. The wines spend many months on yeast lees in old and new French barrels. Our intention is to seasonally capture the expression of the landscape in our wine.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
