The Heathcote Col Mountain Grenache project continues to gain pace. The rocky and steep Col Mountain vineyard is a fabulous site for this impressive variety. It delivers delicious fruit and site pure wine in a medium bodied style.

The wine is made like our Pinot Noir, with wild yeast in open fermenters and handled quite gently. This is the sixth vintage we have made of Col Mountain Grenache and perhaps it is the most complex and intense yet. It's been a fun learning curve having faith in the site and timing of harvest with this variety. Leave it too long and it can become fruit sweet in an unpleasant way. Pick too early and the best red fruits and fine tannins will be missing. There's a point at what seems to be before really observable ripeness occurs when the grapes contain enough of the best things and that's the time to harvest. As is usual, the nose is beautifully fragrant with the usual raspberry and red cherry aromas. It is also savoury in a pippy way with a pretty floral lift and has a fresh, cool nature. The palate is vibrant, creamy, layered and gently grippy with the clean, Grenache specific tannins giving a chalky, smooth, long finish. Another couple of years will see this wine really settled and singing.

About the Winemaker
‘Bindi’, 50 kilometres north-west of Melbourne in the Macedon Ranges, is the family property of the Dhillon family. Originally purchased in the 1950s as part of the larger grazing farm ‘Bundaleer’, ‘Bindi’ is a 170 hectare farm of which 7 hectares are planted to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Fifteen hectares are dedicated to managed plantation eucalypts for high grade furniture timber whilst the remainder of the land is maintained as remnant bush land and important indigenous grasslands.

The Bindi vineyard is the fundamental focus of our endeavors. Our vineyard and winemaking philosophy is to seek balance and purity in the expression of our various individual vineyard sites and this philosophy is applied to farming and conservation at ‘Bindi’; the preservation of the natural harmony.

Typical hand management regimes of fastidious small vineyard philosophies are maintained encompassing hand pruning, frequent passes (at least ten passes each vine) though the growing season managing the vertical shoot positioned canopy and hand harvesting

Since 2005 we have been implementing organic procedures and inputs where the focus is on promoting soil life and balance leading to excellent vine health. This involves compost, undervine cultivation and aerating the soil (opening up the soil for air, moisture and soil applications).
