Bindoon Estate is certified organic, however, the winemaker also processes non organic vineyard fruits so the winery does not promote that it’s a finished organic wine. Minimal preservative 220 is added (sulphite)
Organic Certification # 10952 (ACO)
The Vineyard was established in the early 1970’s with clones of Chardonnay, Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet.
In 2005 we decided cease irrigation for the red varieties. We were interested in increasing the local regional character, flavour and quality of the wine. In 2008 we started a foliage spray program using liquid kelp. This had the effect of producing a tougher skin for the foliage and fruit. Greater protection was then provided for the effects of sun, wind burn, disease, dessication and frost damage. There was also a leaf and ground absorbed fertilizer benefit. The vineyard is ploughed rather than mulched to conserve moisture.
Determined to retain the newly improved flavour and quality, additional measures were required to conserve ground moisture and reduce ground temperature. In 2012 we started a program of rolling out home-grown organic meadow hay between the rows of vines.
The vineyard has now developed a stable level of production. The wine varieties produced are Shiraz, Merlot Shiraz, Chardonnay, Blush Rose, Liqueur Shiraz (port) and Liqueur Pedro (sweet sherry), with the grapes for the Blush and Liqueur Pedro sourced from the Swan Valley.
