Bindi Quartz Chardonnay 1998
A finely crafted contemporary chardonnay with poise and balance, whose delicate perfume of citrusy melon fruit marries with the spicy cinnamon and clove of tight, reserved oak and cleverly integrated lees and malolactic influences. Beginning sumptuous and fleshy, with excellent weight and texture of ripe mealy fruit and toasty oak, the palate settles with a long, savoury and mineral finish.

Bindi
It hasn't taken long for Bindi to become a signature vineyard. Located on a series of wonderfully sunny cool- climate sites whose varying, gentle but fortuitously directed slopes of grey loam soils have a healthy content of quartz, Bindi can produce pinot and chardonnay of great perfume, purity and texture. Michael Dhillon recently made some interesting name and label changes to his wines, recognising important forebears and contributors to the Bindi name, none of which are more significant than Kostas Rind, Bindi's inspiration and my childhood neighbour. The 2014 wines are exemplary -Ę right on cue.
