Bindi Kosta's Rind Chardonnay 2023

The fruit from this wine comes from vines planted in 1988 into volcanic soils or clay in the lower part of the Chardonnay planting at Bindi. The fruit is destemmed and sent to French barrels for fermentation, 30% of which are new, and the wine remains on lees for ten months. Producing a very pure and vibrant wine with rich flavours of grapefruit, almond meal and stone fruit with a very long refreshing finish.

Bindi is an esteemed boutique winery in the Macedon Ranges, Victoria, led by winemaker and owner Michael Dhillon. The specialties are Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with some Riesling, Grenache, and Rose now being made and some Heathcote Shiraz under the Pyrette label from a separate vineyard. Michael Dhillon's philosophy is to seek balance and purity through the expression of his individual vineyards. Michael's attention to detail and commitment to his philosophy and vineyard are evident in the outstanding quality of his wines. Worthy of a spot in any Australian cellar.
