The Kostas Rind Chardonnay is grown in a 1.5 hectare plot. The wine is fermented in French barrels of which typically 20% are new. Fermentation occurs without the addition of cultured yeast and the wine remains in barrel on yeast lees over winter with only a small amount of malo-lactic conversion taking place. It is racked around eight months after vintage and returned to barrel for a further three months before bottling.

Abundantly filled with flavors of stone fruit, spiced lemon, and a hint of frangipane-lined lime tart, accompanied by subtle spice notes. A well-balanced acidity maintains control over the palate, which exhibits depth, a touch of weight, and impressive length.
