BINDI ‘Block 8’ Pinot Noir 2020

BINDI 'Block 8' Pinot Noir 2020

“The Block 8 vineyard is 3/4 of a hectare in size on a sheltered, north-west facing, and very quartz riddled site with some fertile volcanic soils. The eighth block planted at Bindi has a grandstand exposition sweeping down the mid slope. Here there are mostly 11,300 vines per hectare with a Crazy section at 22,600 vines per hectare featuring seven clones. The wines from this vineyard are compelling and delicious when young and as history has shown, going back to the 1992 Bindi Pinot Noir, the wines age exceptionally well from the beginning and drink beautifully for a long time.

The wine spends 15-17 months in French barrels of which about 50% are new. The Block 8 wine has exceptional fruit depth and earthiness and is intensely structured, very long and ageworthy.

Production typically varies from 125-200 dozen per vintage.” – Bindi Wines.

The 2020 Block 8 carries its hallmark darker fruit profile, lifted by red cherry fragrance and layered notes of spice, earth, and game. Expect a creamy, supple palate with smooth fruit–tannin integration that builds through the mid-palate before fanning out into a long finish. Further complexity is likely to develop with time, with excellent cellaring potential over the next decade.
