Winemaker Michael Dhillon is obsessed with capturing the essence of his quartz riddled site in every bottle he produces, and manages his vines using a combination of biodynamic and biological techniques. Pinot Noir gets most attention – and it deserves the accolades – but many suspect history will show Bindi to be an even better Chardonnay vineyard: the Quartz Chardonnay has an underlying minerality rarely seen outside Chablis’ grand cru sites..” Max Allen, New World Icons of Today and Tomorrow, Decanter Magazine

The true nature and quality of the wines will be revealed with half a dozen years in bottle but it is reasonable to say that these wines are very consistent with our usual style and have a deeply satisfying level of fruit and site purity and complexity. Tasting through the wines recently with Stuart Anderson he was compelled to say "These are the best wines Bindi has produced." That places high expectations on the wines. Maybe they will be met, maybe not. Regardless, it was very satisfying to hear and time will tell. One thing these wines have in common is they all have a dramatic level of fragrance that leaps from the glass.” Michael Dhillon

Screwcap closure. “The nose is fine and quite complex. It is typically floral and gently spicy with a delicious mealy, pulpy mineral chardonnay fragrance.. The fruit complexities range through white peach, nectarine, lemon, grapefruit and nashi pear. The palate is fresh and intense and walks the line of mouth filling texture combined with finesse and delicacy. It is a beautifully fine and flavoursome wine. It may be at its best in three to five years time. This wine spent just under eleven months in barrel, 25% new and was on lees for ten months.” Michael Dhillon
