Bindi Wines
Nestled amidst the picturesque Macedon Ranges, Bindi Wines has carved a niche for itself as a beacon of excellence in the Australian winemaking landscape. Rooted in a legacy that spans generations, Bindi's commitment to crafting wines of unparalleled quality and character remains unwavering, as evidenced by their latest offerings from the challenging yet remarkable 2023 vintage.
As the curtain rises on the post-harvest season, Bindi unveils a captivating array of wines that showcase the essence of their storied vineyards. The 2023 vintage takes centre stage, featuring a lineup that includes the iconic Bindi Kostas Rind Chardonnay and Bindi Dixon Pinot Noir, alongside newcomers like the Dhillon Macedon Ranges Chardonnay and Dhillon Heathcote Grenache. Each bottle is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and unwavering dedication that defines Bindi's winemaking philosophy.
Behind every bottle lies a narrative steeped in tradition and innovation. Before the passing of Bill Darshan Singh Dhillon in 2013, Bindi embarked on a journey to identify and cultivate new vineyard sites with utmost care and precision. These efforts culminated in the establishment of Block 8 and Darshan, two distinct parcels of land that exude their own unique personality and terroir. Despite the introduction of modern viticultural practices and innovative winemaking techniques, Bindi remains true to its roots, staying faithful to the ethos established by their founders.
The 2023 growing season posed its own set of challenges, with unrelenting dampness threatening to derail proceedings. However, against all odds, the vineyards persevered, bolstered by moments of sunshine and respite that arrived just in time to salvage the vintage. The resulting wines are a testament to the resilience of both the land and the winemakers, with purity, complexity, and vibrancy infusing every sip.
In February, Bindi bottled a selection of their 2023 releases, including the Kostas Rind Chardonnay and Dixon Pinot Noir, which have matured gracefully in barrel, promising years of enjoyment ahead. As the remaining Pinot Noirs continue to evolve and gain complexity, anticipation mounts for their imminent release in July.
While the 2023 vintage may have been fraught with uncertainty, its ultimate triumph serves as a testament to Bindi's unwavering commitment to excellence. As the wines of this remarkable vintage continue to evolve in the barrel, one thing remains certain – Bindi Wines continues to set the standard for premium Australian winemaking, one bottle at a time.
