Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The classic Bindi Pinot signature of perfume and red fruits is immediately evident here. There are also some darker fruit notes and spice aromas giving added complexity. The balance of roses, red and dark cherry, raspberry youthfulness with more earthy and savory complexities is very pleasing at this early stage The palate is fleshy, supple and silky with fine tannins and balanced acidity carry the fruit for a long finish. There is so much appeal right now it's hard to recommend cellaring, however another three years will give added complexity and it will drink well for a decade.

Professional Ratings

    A fresh and bright red with sliced strawberry and cherry character to the lemon and watermelon flavors. Medium body. Firm and silky. Crisp finish.

    This is a blend of fruit Michael Dhillon declassifies from his single-parcel bottlings. It needs a lot of air after opening to move past the initial brown and green notes of oak and bell pepper. But as it evolves past those complications, it gains stature and turns toward gentle plum and strawberry flavors. Cellar this for a year or two and it should develop well.

Bindi Wines Bindi Vineyard Winery Image

‘Bindi’, 50 kilometres north-west of Melbourne in the Macedon Ranges, is the family property of the Dhillon family. Originally purchased in the 1950s as part of the larger grazing farm ‘Bundaleer’, ‘Bindi’ is a 170 hectare farm of which 7 hectares are planted to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Fifteen hectares are dedicated to managed plantation eucalypts for high grade furniture timber whilst the remainder of the land is maintained as remnant bush land and important indigenous grasslands.

The Bindi vineyard is the fundamental focus of the family's endeavors. Their vineyard and winemaking philosophy is to seek balance and purity in the expression of various individual vineyard sites and this philosophy is applied to farming and conservation.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

Nestled into the tip of its southeastern coastline, Victoria is Australia’s smallest mainland state, second most populous and third largest wine producer. Victoria includes the cool regions of Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and Geelong, made famous mainly by impressive Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

The more inland Heathcote and Bendigo lead the way for complex and textured, full-bodied reds. Rutherglen’s fortified wines compete among the best on the planet.
