91 pts Halliday Wine Companion "The back label states this is made from merlot berries co-fermented with shiraz juice then aged in barrel. It’s come out juicy and plummy with snips of fresh herbs, wood smoke and warm spices. It’s mid-weighted at best, the tannins plush, soft and giving, the acidity cleansing and, all up, a delicious drink-now red that doesn’t need a minute more in bottle." March 2025
Description
From Bindi:
"The Accidental Red came about in 2022 by…..unforeseen opportunity…..by accident! The Merlot being pressed for Rosé had too much juice remaining to discard to compost and Shiraz pressings had too much colour for Rosé so in they went together. In 2023 we decided to make the Accidental Red deliberately and to make it better. And we have done the same again in 2024! Merlot berries are fermented with pressed out Shiraz juice, so in effect there was half the amount of the usual skins for the wine volume.
This year we added 5% malbec fruit to the blend. A relatively quick wild yeast fermentation (limiting the time on skins) then then into barrel for malolactic and six months maturing through the winter. Simple. This wine is from premium Macedon Ranges fruit yet comes in as a bright, chillable, quaffable, deliberately inexpensive fun wine. It’s red cherry fruity and gently juicy with spice and earth giving added layers. The palate is supple in a mid-weight Pinot-like way with silky, fine, pippy tannins on the lingering finish."

ABOUT THIS BRAND
Bindi Wines
Magic in the Macedon Ranges, Victoria
BINDI, 50 kilometres north-west of Melbourne in the Macedon Ranges, 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.
