Bindi Kostas Rind Chardonnay 2019

"As is normal, each barrel was filled directly from the press tray and a small amount of So2

was added. The wild yeast generally take five days to begin to ferment the sugars and most

barrels took five to six weeks to complete the fermentation. The wine spent 11 months in

barrel. Every so often we fall in love with a particular wine. Of course we enjoy and admire

each of the wines in every year for their personality and delicious nature but every so often

there's a wine that really captures our affection. The 2019 Kostas Rind Chardonnay is one

such wine. This wine gives and hides, has forward characters and as well as restraint.

There are the usual floral and blossom aromas mixed with citrus, spice and chalkiness.

There is a lovely depth of stone fruit concentration. The palate is initially supple then

intensifies and brightens and has beautiful texture, harmony and length. It really is very

delicious! This is the 29th wine from this vineyard (Est. 1988) and we can comfortably say it

will improve for six to ten years and drink well over a 15 to 20 year window." - Michael Dhillon
