Bink Wines

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 vineyards, and landed in South Australia. Koen worked with legends we all know and love, such as Anton from Lucy M and James from Jauma. He started Yetti and the Kokonut with Dave Geyer, but it was old mate Pete Schell from Spinifex who suggested and inspired Koen get out on his own. Bink was born in 2017.

We’re pretty sure he’s never out of the vineyard, every time we talk to him, he’s got his hands in the dirt – his happy place – the wines are crafted there, not in the winery. His wines are all lo-fi and pure and, above all, bloody fun to drink. He works across five regions (Clare, Barossa, Eden, McLaren Vale and Blewitt Springs), and all the sites have one thing in common - sand - his canvas. There's sand on granite, sand on loam, sand on limestone and sand on sand. He strives to maintain finesse and drinkability in his wines, he has a very light touch in the winery.

Ask him and he will tell you, he makes wines he wants to drink.
