A winery steeped in tradition and Barossa history, Rolf Binder Wines was established in 1955 by Rolf Heinrich Binder along with his wife, Franziska. With the philosophy of only using primarily estate-grown fruit from their own vineyards across the Barossa. Traditional viticultural and winemaking techniques were a legacy that Rolf Binder Jr and his sister Christa Deans carried over 65 years, producing a range of highly acclaimed Barossa premium wines.

From a single plot in Stonewell, planted in 1972. This has a very complex nose with orange peel, pomegranate, redcurrant, red plum, cedar, blueberry and blackberry. The palate is very layered and shows impressive focus and intensity, packed with rich dark plums, blackberries, chocolate and toasted spices. Seamlessly long and intense. So powerful, yet balanced. Try from 2026. Rating: 97 Points; James Suckling
