This is a very fine Kostas Rind, coming from the volcanic soils over clay on the lower Bindi
Chardonnay plantings from 1988. Destemmed berries go into the press and the juice is
taken straight from the tray into the barrels, around 30% of which are new small French
oak. The fermentation occurs without yeast addition and the wine remains on all lees for ten
months until just prior to bottling. The 2023 is very fine and pure, with a vibrant
lemon/grapefruit brightness complimented by almond meal, white flowers and stone fruit
kernel. The palate is vibrant, intense, focused, driven, chalky and very long. It will improve
for six plus years and live well beyond.
