Description

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 red plum. There is brown spice and a touch of undergrowth giving added complexity. The palate is fresh and supple and already very harmonious with fine, stylish tannins carrying the fruit depth. As history has shown, another five years cellaring will add intensity and complexity and this wine will cellar well for a decade. Michael Dhillon
