Tasting-Wine Men of Gotham Chardonnay/Semillon


Name: Wine Men of Gotham Chardonnay/Semillon
Variety: 80% Chardonnay, 20% Semillon
Region: South Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2008
Price: $5.95
Shop review: “Gotham’s 2008 Wine Men of Gotham Chardonnay Semillon is a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Semillon. It gives a moderate intensity of melon, guava, apricot, and butterscotch aromas. The medium bodied palate provides attractive acidity along with plenty of tropical fruit flavors and medium-long finish.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)

My review: It had a full, rounded smell, as if it had cream in it.  The smell was probably from the butterscotch. When tasting it, it was very smooth, with no burn from the alcohol.  It was a little sour, as I expect from most white wines I have tasted.

I drank this without food.
