Bindi Dixon Pinot Noir 2024

"The Dixon comes from part of the original 1988 planting of Pinot Noir at Bindi and some of the 2001 Kaye vineyard. As always, it's bottled a little earlier than the other five Bindi Pinot Noirs; at ten months rather than 15. The wine is made with destemmed fruit and wild yeast in open fermenters and matured in small French oak barrels, about 30% new in 2024. This vintage is immediately fragrant with red and black cherry and a little … more

Bindi Kostas Rind Chardonnay 2024

"This is a very fine Kostas Rind, coming from the volcanic soils over clay on the lower Bindi Chardonnay plantings from 1988. Destemmed berries go into the press and the juice is taken straight from the tray into the barrels, around 25% of which are new small French oak. The fermentation occurs without yeast addition and the wine remains on all lees for ten months until just prior to bottling. The 2024 is beautifully fragrant with spice, lemon and white … more

Bindi Pyrette Heathcote Shiraz 2023

"The fruit is sourced, as usual, from the Colbinabbin vineyard (starting in 2001) and the Col Mountain vineyard (starting in 2014). It is made in a similar way to the Pinot Noirs, with the exception of seeing around 20% whole bunch inclusion in the fermentations (rather than zero or close to zero for the Pinots). The 2023 is very fragrant with violet, dark plum, sweet earth and chocolate aromas. The palate is exceptionally smooth and supple with silky tannins. It … more

Dhillon Col Mountain Vineyard Grenache 2024

"The Heathcote Col Mountain Grenache project continues to gain pace. The rocky and steep Col Mountain vineyard is a fabulous site for this impressive variety. It delivers delicious fruit and site pure wine in a medium bodied style. The wine is made like our Pinot Noir, with wild yeast in open fermenters and handled quite gently. The 2024 has a charming purity that lifts from the glass; raspberry, pomegranate, red roses and a little earth. The palate is supple and … more

Dhillon Col Mountain Vineyard Merlot & Friends 2023

"This is a new wine for us and comes from the excellent Glenhope vineyard in the northern Macedon Ranges at 425 meters above sea level on granite soil. Here the sunshine is stronger than at Bindi and the vines can fully ripen later ripening varieties. This delicious blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon is medium weight and harmonious. It has a captivating fragrance and berry purity that is impressive. The fruit from Glenhope retains brightness and energy … more

Dhillon Col Mountain Vineyard Rosé 2024

"This Grenache from Heathcote received a few hours skin contact while being gently pressed, fermented without the addition of yeast to dryness in old French barrels and spent five months maturing on yeast lees. It is a delicately coloured rosé, fresh and fragrant of roses, red currant and cranberry with a fresh, smooth, dry, textured palate. It balances the line of having enough mouthfeel and flavour without having too much. It's proven to be a pleasurable wine to make as … more

Dhillon Col Mountain Vineyard Shiraz 2018

"This wine, to state the obvious, has been quite a while coming! In 2014 we began making experimental ferments using four clones from this exciting vineyard and decided to mature the blended bottled wines until we felt they were settled and singing. The 2018 Col Mountain is based on the smooth and aromatic Shiraz clones PT23 and 1654 with a little of the robust and rich Yalumba and R6WV28. The Col Mountain wines are from deep red soil with a … more

Dhillon Glenhope "Accidental Red" Merlot Shiraz 2024

Michael Dhillon's eponymous side-project allows him freedom to make mistakes he might otherwise not have at his day job at Bindi. The Accidental Red started as a rosé gone wrong, then it became a red gone very right. Shiraz fermented with Merlot skins, juicy and vibrant, even better a little chilled.

Dhillon Glenhope Macedon Ranges Riesling 2024

Producer Notes - "This new project from the granite soils in the northern end of the Macedon Ranges at 460m above sea level is an exciting addition to our activities. The vineyard was established in 1995 and the fruit has ostensibly been "lost" interstate until new Victorian owners took over in spring 2021. The new regime has quickly invested in the infrastructure and fine-tuned activities and several top producers are sourcing fruit from this excellent site. The Riesling was harvested … more

Dhillon Glenhope Ranges Chardonnay 2024

"This is the third release from our association with the Glenhope Macedon Ranges vineyard that was established in the late 1990s. Each year it feels like we have been able to refine the picking decision and winemaking, which is very similar to the way we make the Bindi Chardonnays (wild yeast, barrel fermentation, time on yeast lees). The nose has the classic array of aromas; lemon, cashew, spice and orange blossom. The palate is fresh and filling, textured in fruit … more
