Description

This Riesling is a recent addition to the Bindi stable, hailing from a vineyard at the northern end of the Macedon Ranges.

The vineyard, established in 1995, sits at an elevation of 460 metres, graced with granite-rich soils. After a period of obscurity, it found new life under Victorian ownership in 2021, attracting esteemed producers to its exceptional fruit. 

Harvested in early April, the Riesling underwent wild yeast fermentation in seasoned French oak, followed by six months on fine lees. This approach preserves the fruit's vibrancy while introducing subtle complexity and a harmonious texture. 

On the nose, anticipate a medley of grapefruit, guava, spice, lime juice, and wet stone. The palate is balanced and fresh, with a clean, chalky, and lingering finish. 

Another great addition to the excellent stable of wines from this great Victorian producer.

This new project from the granite soils in the northern end of the Macedon Ranges at 460m above sea level is an exciting addition to our activities. The vineyard was established in 1995 and the fruit has ostensibly been “lost” interstate until new Victorian owners took over in spring 2021. The new regime has quickly invested in the infrastructure and fine-tuned activities and several top producers are sourcing fruit from this excellent site. The Riesling was harvested in early April and wild yeast fermented in old French oak then matured for six months on fine yeast lees. In the winemaking mind it was important to preserve/respect the vibrancy of the fruit but to also seek further subtle depth of complexity and palate texture and flow. Not too fruity, not too savoury, hopefully a wine to please Goldilocks. It feels like we have landed pretty close to where we would like the style to be. The nose is quite complex with grapefruit, guava, spice, lime juice and wet stone aromas evident. The palate is balanced, fresh, harmoniously textured and ends very clean, chalky and long. It’s very delicious.
