2022 Bink Big Little Red
WINEMAKER: Koen Janssens
REGION: McLaren Vale, SA
VARIETY: Shiraz, Zinfandel, Petit Verdot, Carignan
VITICULTURE: Organic
Blend of dominate shiraz, zinfandel, Petit Verdot and carignane. The wine I drink while cooking stews and ragouts. Super rich in nose and first pallet, complex but smooth add the same time. You just want start a fire and be mesmerised by the flames while sipping on this wine.
Koen Janssens started his wine life working as a Sommelier in Belgium and around Europe. He landed in Sydney in 2012 but it wasn't long before he was called to life in the vineyard in South Australia. Koen worked with legends we all know and love such as Anton from Lucy M, James from Jauma. He started Yetti and the Kokonut with Dave Geyer, but it was old mate Pete Schell from Spinifex who suggested Koen get out on his own, and Bink was born in 2017.
