2018 Bindi Dixon Pinot Noir

Bindi’s Dixon Pinot Noir is sourced from two vineyard plantings, one in 1988 and the other in 2001. Fruit is fermented in open vats with only 5% whole bunch inclusion and maturation taking place over a period of 11 months in French oak barrels.

Elegant, polished and long this rates high on the deliciousness scale

Semi translucent bright red to dark red colour with a crimson red hue. Ascending from the glass are perfumed violet top notes with ripe red cherry and strawberry scents in hot pursuit. Aromatic fresh herb, forest floor and spicy cedar notes then flow on. Light with a vibrant and supple textural feel, a magnificent power wave of ripe red cherry, strawberry and a dash of sour cherry fruit caresses the palate. Subtle forest floor, fresh herb infusions and light spicy cedar nuances sit beneath. Superb intensity and purity of fruit yet very elegant and polished with beautifully integrated tannins combining with bright fresh acidity on the finish. A long delicious red fruited aftertaste draws you back in for more. An outstanding release from this iconic Macedon Ranges producer.
