Wine Front 95 Points!
Wine Front 95 Points!"That's the bit of vineyard where Quartz gets picked from " upper reaches of the Bindi chardonnay plantings on Mount Gisborne. Mike Dhillon says 'its all about amplification in the upper parts of the vineyard' with a delineation clearly showing where the soil type shifts to show more geology bling than dirt.
Richer fruit character here, touch of blanched nuts, citrus blossom lift, layers of wet stone and steel. Bracing aromatics. Palate shows immense drive, racy acidity dissipates under wealth of mineral inflection that offers granite, slate, quartz (of course) and soft talc notes. Citrus flavours pulse and are joined by green melon and kohlrabi. Finishes very long, judiciously chunky and with a faint hint of cedar spice. Impressive and will find long life."
