Bindi Wines

Victorian oenophiles fiercely guard the coordinates to this Gisborne estate. Just an etched rock on the roadside. No flashy signs. No crowded tasting bars. Pull up past the family trampoline—you’ve just entered a world-class domaine. Serious collectors whisper about Michael and Wendy’s breathtaking Chardonnays. The Pinot Noirs? Pure, ethereal expressions of cool-climate terroir. It feels less like a commercial winery, more like an intimate audience with a master vigneron. Complete with a tail-wagging greeting from Sapphy, the resident golden retriever. Uncompromising pedigree. Utterly unpretentious. A mandatory pilgrimage for true purists.
