2008 Bindi Original Vineyard Pinot Noir 750ml

Vineyard and Heritage

Sourced from Bindi’s revered Original Vineyard in Victoria’s Macedon Ranges, this 2008 Pinot Noir reflects the character of vines planted in 1988 on quartz-rich, north-facing slopes. The vineyard is known for its dedication to purity, balance, and expressing a true sense of place.

Vintage and Winemaking

The 2008 vintage benefited from a balanced growing season, producing fruit with ideal ripeness and vitality. The wine was matured for around 18 months in French oak (approximately 25% new), preserving aromatic clarity and structural finesse.
