★★★★★ The Real Review Recommended "Medium-light ruby/tile red with the faintest trace of purple; lovely mossy, undergrowthy, leaf-litter bouquet; the palate light-bodied and soft textured, with a core of fruit sweetness, easy harmony and gentle tannins." - Huon Hooke, Feb 2025
95 Points GOLD Halliday Wine Companion "Such a pretty wine; there’s a lightness of touch on the palate and wonderful perfume with the aromatics. Wafts of red roses, autumn leaves, incense and raspberry leaf. The palate is light with soft, silky tannins and cleansing acidity, and while you wouldn’t really call this complex, you would say it’s a lovely drink." - Jane Faulkner, Apr 2026
Description
The Darshan vineyard is a tribute to Bindi founder Bill Darshan Singh Dhillon, who passed in early 2013. The vineyard preparations began a few months afterwards with planting taking place in 2014. Darshan faces west on quartz riddled soils similar to the Original Vineyard and is planted at 11,300 vines per hectare with 20% of the vines being a Crazy section at 22,600 vines per hectare featuring four clones. Over the first seven vintages, to 2023, we have seen this site produce ethereal wine showing exquisite perfume and spice with a lacey, sinewy, flowing long palate. Darshan , like Original Vineyard, is about perfume and finesse whereas Block 8 and Block 5 share fruit depth and structure in common.
The wine spends 15-17 months in French barrels of which about 35% are new. From 2017 onwards we are seeing the wines age gracefully and build earth, texture and intriguing beauty.
Production typically varies from 100-150 dozen per vintage.

ABOUT THIS BRAND
Bindi Wines
By Michael Dhillon - Halliday’s Winemaker of the Year 2022
Magic in the Macedon Ranges, Victoria
Bindi is one of Australia’s most respected small estates, producing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir of purity and finesse. Located 50 kilometres north-west of Melbourne in the Macedon Ranges, Bindi is not just a boutique vineyard. It’s actually a 170-hectare (ha) property of which 7ha are planted to vines—just pinot noir and chardonnay. Most of it is bushland, a section is reserved for important indigenous grasslands such as kangaroo grass, and 15ha are dedicated to a managed plantation of eucalypts (sugar gums) for high-grade furniture timber.
Bindi Wines fall under that category of “wines I would rather keep than sell.” The chardonnays are extraordinarily fine, precise, intense and beautiful, while the pinot noirs are a sensational group. The quality is very even, the style of the wines stunningly elegant, seamless and charming, but also profound. Charming pinot noir of depth is not that easy to find.
