Bindi Quartz Chardonnay 2006
Spicy aromas of grapefruit, lemon sherbet, pear and ginger are backed by sweet vanilla oak and suggestions of clove. Rather rich, broad and oaky, its spicy and slightly candied palate of lemony fruit and nougat-like undertones has a slippery, viscous mouthfeel that is tightened somewhat by a brittle, crunchy acidity. Lacks its usual shape and focus.

Winery
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.
