{"product_id":"2023-bindi-quartz-chardonnay","title":"2023 Bindi Quartz Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp\u003eBindi’s Quartz Chardonnay is always a bit of a mystical release. It comes from a tiny half-hectare patch at the top of the hill where the soil is absolutely littered with white quartz. While the winemaking isn't drastically different from the Kostas Rind, the fruit from this specific spot just seems to vibrate on a higher frequency. It’s the same DNA, but with every dial turned up to ten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 vintage was a cool, wet ride in the Macedon Ranges, but you wouldn't know it from the composure here. There’s a wonderful calmness to the wine. It’s packed with grapefruit, lemon curd, and a distinct flinty, river-stone character. The oak - about 35% new - is perfectly tucked in, adding just a hint of spice and a creamy, oatmeal-like weight without ever crowding the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a serious, tightly wound Chardonnay defined by its energy and saline drive. It’s incredibly polished and flows with a seamless, long finish that keeps you coming back. With only a couple hundred dozen made, it’s a rare bird, but for those who value tension and power, it remains the benchmark for the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 points\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Extremely polished and tightly wound, with an underlying power and tension that will age magnificently.
