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.
Mouthwatering Meyer lemon, pear and orange zest flavors have accents of nutmeg and makrut lime on the long, spicy finish, set against a full body. Drink now through 2023. WS

Bindi Quartz Chardonnay 2018 (2022 Winemaker of the Year, Halliday Wine Companion Awards)
Powerful, intense aromas of melon, white stone fruit, lemon pith and musky, spicy minerals. These all flow through on to the palate, which is rich yet very refined, with lovely, almost crunchy acidity, very fine yet persistent tannins, a lovely flow across the palate. Mineral driven, yet with plenty of fruit, you get the impression this wine is still reserved compared to its underlying potential. Great depth and length, with building complexity. Should evolve superbly.

Very fresh and intense aromas of lemons, peaches, hazelnuts and white florals are delivered with striking definition and purity here. The palate is impressively layered, long and powerful with a pithy core of lemon and yellow-grapefruit flavors, as well as peach, honey and hazelnut. Pristine, long and powerful finish with great focus. JS

Such purity of fruit, freshness and mouthwatering fruits in the form of grapefruit, lemons and white peaches. Dry, flinty and stony aromas with grilled nuts, too. The palate has an impeccably seamless and powerful style, impressive depth and a long acid-drenched finish. This is impressive. JS
