Bindi Kostas Rind Chardonnay 2019 [JS 96]

James Suckling 96 points. This is a very clear, pure expression of white and yellow peaches, lemons, some minerally gun flint and very subtle oak. Really dialed-in and focused on the nose. Similarly, the palate is tautly focused, yet has fully ripe flavors in the peach and lemon spectrum. It arcs smoothly into a composed, long and balanced finish. Chardonnay that’s resolved to this extent on release is a rare thing. JS. Halliday Wine Companion 96 points. The tension in this is fabulous. Taut as a snare drum, yet intense in flavour. It starts off on a citrus theme, with lemons and a touch of tangerine, tempered by a layer of nutty, leesy richness – just a smidge – this is a linear offering. It finishes long and persuasive. A delicious drink. 96 points. Jane Faulkner Published 13 August 2021
