2022 Bindi Dixon Pinot Noir - 750ml

Bindi stands as one of Australia’s most coveted producers, crafting small-batch Pinot Noir and Chardonnay defined by rare beauty and profound intensity. The story began in 1988 when Bill Dhillon planted the first vines on his 170-hectare estate, focusing on three primary blocks that have since become legendary. Today, the estate is managed by Bill’s son, Michael Dhillon. While winemakers can occasionally be a stoic bunch, Michael is famously affable—though his easygoing nature is matched by a razor-sharp focus on quality. Under his guidance, Bindi has cultivated a devoted following that treats every bottle like a trophy.

The Terroir & The Lineup

The "Dixon" Pinot Noir: The Perfect Prelude

If the single-block releases are the main event, the Dixon Pinot Noir is the essential opening act. It is crafted from declassified fruit from the 1988 "Original" vineyard and treated with the exact same winemaking rigor as its more "legendary" siblings.

The Value: Released earlier than the single-block wines, it is undoubtedly the best value in the Bindi stable.

The Profile: It strikes a masterful balance between delicacy and depth. Expect bright red strawberry and a hint of fresh mint, walking a fine line into more profound, darker fruit territory.

The Role: It’s the Bindi you enjoy while patiently waiting for the rest of your cellar to age.

Note: Because of the limited volumes and high demand, these wines are as much about "finding" them as they are about drinking them.
