Bindi Kaye Pinot Noir Macedon Ranges, Victoria – 2021

Bindi is widely acknowledged as being one of Australia’s best small producers. It is situated at around 500m altitude in the cool climate Macedon Ranges, about an hour’s drive north of Melbourne. The winery is truly “boutique”, even by Burgundian standards, with only 7 hectares of vines, of which 5 hectares are planted with Pinot Noir and 2 hectares with Chardonnay. Total production is never higher than 3,000 cases per vintage.

“This is a very sentimental wine from our most elevated vineyard, planted in 2001, that pays tribute to my mother, Kaye. It’s a vineyard with a stunning perspective over the other vineyards, the winery, house and to the forests and hills beyond. There are some lovely metaphors, no doubt. The site has a lot of quartz and mudstone, a smattering of volcanic soils that have eroded down from the volcanic plateau above, and produces a wine of fragrance, structure and complexity.” Michael Dhillon, winemaker

“Bright, polished red-purple colour; bunchy, balsamic herb aromas, not quite root vegetable and not quite Campari, but noticeable. The palate is full and strongly built, with abundant tannins and impressive concentration and amplitude of flavour that rolls on and on. A very complex and powerful pinot that doesn’t sacrifice finesse or delicacy. Delightful. (Bindi’s highest vineyard at 500m, planted in 2001)” 96/100 Huon Hooke, The Real Review
