2022 Bink Paperman
Description
WINEMAKER: Koen Janssens
REGION: Langhorne Creek/McLaren Vale, SA
VARIETAL: Cabernet Franc
VITICULTURE: Organic
100% Cabernet Franc. 90% of the fruit was sourced from the Watkins Vineyard in Langhorne Creek, with the balance from Sellicks Hill in McLaren Vale. Over both sites the soils are rich in limestone, loam, gravel, clay, stone and sand. Both parcels were picked on the same day in early March. The Langhorne Creek fruit was 100% destemmed and pressed to French hogsheads when dry. The McLaren Vale fruit was 90% destemmed and pressed to a mixture of French hogsheads and ceramic egg. The parcels were blended a month before being bottled in late January.
Koen Janssens started his wine life working as a Sommelier in Belgium and around Europe. He landed in Sydney in 2012 but it wasn't long before he was called to life in the vineyard in South Australia. Koen worked with legends we all know and love such as Anton from Lucy M, James from Jauma. He started Yetti and the Kokonut with Dave Geyer, but it was old mate Pete Schell from Spinifex who suggested Koen get out on his own, and Bink was born in 2017.

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.
