Bindi 'Original Vineyard' Pinot Noir 2024

Bindi is one of the great pinot noir producers of Australia and has for some time cemented itself as the greatest of the Macedon Ranges wineries. In more recent times Michael Dhillion has expanded beyond the home vineyard, sourcing quality fruit from nearby sites and Southern Heathcote to build out quality wines under the 'Dhillion' and 'Pyrette' labels.

"The Bindi farm spans 170ha but only 7ha is planted to vines. This simple fact is an insight into the care and respect the Dhillon family has for its land, its heritage and its future. There are only 2 varieties planted (pinot noir and chardonnay) on the home vineyard, both long-established for their stellar quality. Bindi is without question among a select few at the top echelon of Australian wine and essentially has been ever since its '88 plantings first hit their straps. While quality is the uniting factor across the entire range, Block 5 pinot noir remains the resounding jewel in Bindi's crown. Of genuine excitement is the addition of high-density pinot noir (11,300 vines/ha, planted in ’14 and ’16), which is destined to add yet more lustre." Halliday Wine Companion
