A bit metallic but otherwise well-balanced. Good structure with just the right amount of acidity that carries the rather subtle fruit (pear, peach) and the floral (jasmine, lime-leaves) aromas to medium and a touch buttery finish. Certainly not stunning, but enjoyable nonetheless. Needed a bit of air.

I am usually a big fan of this wine, and I especially like it’s availability on restaurant wine lists, but this does not sing for me. It has the usual good-winemaking-cool-Macedon signature but lacks the energy and tension of previous vintages. Day 2 and some air has helped but not for me. There are too many terrific Chardonnay’s available at this price point to consider this an option. Move on.

Lemon, ginger, salt, caramalised salted almonds; crisp, fresh, pure and transparent; beautiful texture, young, but already very harmonious. This opened up very well in the glass and got more expressive by the minute. Fantastic Chardonnay with a bright future. 17+/20

Bindi Tasting. Drank in Gabriel Standart. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, lemon colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of expressive ripe peach, fragrant lemon oil, light toast, touch of salted nut. Developing. On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium alcohol, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flacvours of nicely ripe peach, sweet citrus lemon and lemon oil, light toast, salty stony minerality. Sweet + salty long finish. Very good quality. Upfront and expressive. All works out despite the acidity sensation not being as high as I usually like my Chards to be. Gives me the impression of longevity nonetheless.

Remains fruit driven, with subtle oak. Little in the way of reductive aromas.
