Description

If you made a list of the top ten Australian Chardonnays year-in, year-out, the Bindi Quartz Chardonnay would surely be one of the mainstays.

It's a unique site that creates this wine. A quartz-riddled half-hectare block at the top of the Bindi Chardonnay plantings. The wine typically sees around 35% new oak and the fruit absolutely soaks it up.

This wine embodies all the power and finesse that is possible in Chardonnay, and typically shows its best with 4-5 years in bottle if you have the patience.

If you are to drink it young, a good stint in the decanter and not too cool is the recommendation.

At the upper end of the Chardonnay planting, where the quartz incidence in the soil is the greatest the fruit has extra complexity, finesse and intensity. This wine comes exclusively from this soil. This area is approximately half one hectare in size. The characteristics are similar in the Quartz Chardonnay to the Kostas Rind Chardonnay but all aspects are amplified here yet remain in complete harmony.

The winemaking is the same for both wines however the Quartz Chardonnay sometimes spends a few months longer in barrel and there is a higher percentage of new wood used, being around 35%.

Production varies from 150-250 dozen per vintage.
