Bindi Kostas Rind Chardonnay 2019
Critical Acclaim: 95 pts Wine Enthusiast, 96 pts James Suckling. Tasting notes: "From a 1.5 hectare plot, planted in 1988. This is a very clear, pure expression of white and yellow peaches, lemons, some minerally gun flint and very subtle oak. Really dialed-in and focused on the nose. Similarly, the palate is tautly focused, yet has fully ripe flavors in the peach and lemon spectrum. It arcs smoothly into a composed, long and balanced finish. Chardonnay that’s resolved to this extent on release is a rare thing. Drink or hold. Screw cap."- James Suckling "Sensitive and highly experienced winegrower Michael Dhillon turns out a Chardonnay of both delicacy and concentration that makes you feel like you're on vacation. There's a perfume of honeysuckle and jasmine lacing citrus and stone fruit, and a creamy, flinty underbelly. In the mouth it's slippery yet linear with purity of fruit and bright acidity. It's not overly rich nor is it skeletal; neither achingly cool nor old school tradition
