2024 Bindi Kaye Pinot Noir

This small-batch Pinot Noir comes from the most elevated Pinot Noir planting on the Bindi vineyard.

These vines were planted in 2001 on a quartz-riddled plot just below the Mount Gisborne lava flow. This particular site yields wines that are tightly wound with exceptional tension and structure. As such, Dhillon holds this back for an extended period before release.

A fitting tribute to Kaye Dhillon (King), a woman who Michael says was a, "humanist and nurturer of the people and land at Bindi."

This wine is only ever released in small quantities. With the rush for the small batch releases made by Dhillon's hand, this won't be available for long.

"Perfumed and nuanced, with aromas of wild raspberries, dark cherries, spices, wet earth, citrus peel, cured meats, crushed stones and beets. The palate is finely woven and mid-weighted, with a seamlessly integrated mouthfeel that shows mineral grip and fine-boned structure. Really delicious, with a savory undertone supporting the beautiful fruit and spice. Excellent. Drink or hold."
