The Dhillon label is a newer venture from Michael Dhillon of Bindi, drawing on a single site at the northern end of the Macedon Ranges near Kyneton, sitting at roughly 460 metres over decomposed granite. The vineyard was first established in 1995 but its fruit was long committed interstate; new Victorian owners took over in 2021 and reinvested in the site, and Bindi is now among several respected producers working the block. Cool-climate elevation and free-draining granitic soils suit Riesling, giving slow, even ripening and firm natural acidity. The 2025 Macedon growing season is not fully documented here, so seasonal specifics are noted as NEEDS VERIFICATION.

The Riesling was picked in early April to hold onto acidity and aromatic detail. Rather than a purely reductive tank treatment, the fruit was wild-yeast fermented and matured in older French oak for around six months on fine yeast lees, a choice aimed at adding subtle texture and depth without overriding the vibrancy of the fruit. The result is styled between fruit-driven and savoury, finishing dry, chalky and long. Malolactic and any residual-sugar details are not confirmed here and are flagged NEEDS VERIFICATION.
