Bindi Kostas Rind (Formerly Composition) Chardonnay 1997
This long and reserved chardonnay has a flinty, almost steely edge and finish, neatly tying together a restrained, but creamy and leesy palate whose peachy, honeysuckle flavours and butterscotch malolactic influences are evolving with spicy, herby aromas and emerging savoury suggestions of grilled nuts. Very poised and complete.

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.
