Bindi Kostas Rind Chardonnay 2023

The exquisite Kostas Rind Chardonnay originates from the volcanic soils over clay, found in the lower Bindi plantings dating back to 1988. Destemmed berries are gently pressed, with the juice directly transferred to 30% new French oak barrels. Fermentation proceeds naturally without yeast addition, while the wine ages on lees for ten months until just prior to bottling.

The 2023 vintage presents as exceptionally fine and pure, characterised by a vibrant lemon and grapefruit brightness, complemented by nuances of almond meal, white flowers, and stone fruit kernel. Its palate is marked by vibrancy, intensity, focus, drive, and a chalky, enduring finish. Expected to improve over the next six years and possess a longevity beyond.
