Block 8, the continuation and turning of the slope from Block 5, sees an increase in fruit depth and power. It is a very special close planted site (from 11,300 to 22,600 vines per hectare) that has been maximised with many clones and intensive farming. The 2019 Block 8 is a point of revelation for Bindi and is a personal favourite that has the stamp of a special site in a special season. It is a wine guided by three decades of previous experience on this land with this variety. It will improve for another five years and be delicious for many years beyond.
