The Col Mountain wines are from deep red soil with a significant amount of shattered rock. The 2019 is entering a beautiful phase for medium weight shiraz.

The vineyard was established in 1995, and the fruit has ostensibly been “lost” interstate until new Victorian owners took over in spring 2021. This fragrant, stony, gently spicy Chardonnay has delicious, subtle fruit complexity of lemon, mandarin and yellow plum. It is, of course, youthful and vigorous, with creamy textural mouth feel that builds power, drive and austerity for a long finish. We first made Chardonnay from these 30-year-old vines in 2022, and they have proven to gain complexity and palate weight with a few years in bottle.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Michael Dhillon\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Best Cellars Sydney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47773199139069,"sku":"DHIMRCHARD25","price":39.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/6017\/7285\/files\/DhillonChd.jpg?v=1782884620"},{"product_id":"bindi-block-darshan-pinot-noir-2024","title":"Bindi Darshan Pinot Noir 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion: \u003c\/strong\u003eMacedon Ranges\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes: \u003c\/strong\u003ePinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst Glance: \u003c\/strong\u003eComplex, Spicy, Red Fruit, Finessed \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Review:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMike Bennie, The Wine Front - 96pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Pretty perfume with wafts of black pepper, cardamom, nutmeg over red cherry, wild raspberry, rose hip tea and sweet earthiness.

The Merlot being pressed for Rosé had too much juice remaining to discard to compost and the Shiraz pressings had too much colour for Rosé so in they went together. From 2023 we decided to make the Accidental Red deliberately and to make it better. Merlot berries are fermented with pressed out Shiraz juice, so in effect there is half the amount of skins for the wine volume. A relatively quick wild yeast fermentation (limiting the time on skins) then into barrel for malolactic and six months maturing through the winter. This Red is from premium Macedon Ranges fruit and comes in as a bright, chillable, quaffable, deliberately inexpensive wine. The red cherry juice and stone aromas mix with blueberry depth. Violet and subtle brown spice add gentle complexity. The palate is supple in a mid-weight Pinot like way with freshness and fine tannins giving a clean, smooth finish. It drinks well now and will drink well for half a dozen years.\" \u003c\/em\u003e- Michael Dhillon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Best Cellars Sydney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47773199237373,"sku":"DHIACCRED25","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/6017\/7285\/files\/Accident.jpg?v=1782885193"},{"product_id":"dhillon-macedon-ranges-merlot-blend-2023","title":"Dhillon Merlot and Friends 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion: \u003c\/strong\u003eMacedon Ranges\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst Glance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, Juicy, Perfumed, Structured\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Review:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMike Bennie, The Wine Front - 93pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Satiny textured, medium bodied, fragrant, blue fruited, a little dusty, a bit spicy, a touch rosy.
