Macedon Ranges, Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia
Lemon yellow in colour. Very lemon and citrussy on the nose with some mealy biscuity notes. Amazingly youthful. I always ask Barb the age tasted blind and she is usually very close but on this occasion she said 4 years old when it was actually 11 years. Lean on the palate with oodles of minerality from this quartz strewn vineyard, but to be honest I would prefer a little more fleshy stone fruit. It gets down to stylistic preference.

Jan 12th, 2020As mentioned in previous posts Bindi make some of the best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Australia but they are a small producer. Funky leesy mineral (coming from the Quartz riddled vineyard - hence the name) notes. Great intensity on the palate with citrus overtones. Strikes a good balance between the luscious peaches and cream style and the acidic leaner Chablis styles. Definitely one of Australia’s better Chardonnays- singing at 10 years.

Aug 26th, 2019View over the mouth of the Maroochy River up to Coolum Beach on a beautiful day. From the back label - Bindi Quartz Chardonnay is sourced from the most elevated, Quartz riddled section of our Chardonnay vineyard planted in 1988. Absolutely singing at 10 years. The oak and the fruit have melded in perfect balance. Aromas of Cashew Nut and mineral with a little nectarine. More medium weight than the full flavoured Art Series Leeuwin style from Margaret River.
