Gotham Wine Men of Gotham Chardonay Semillon


Name: Gotham Wine Men of Gotham Chardonnay Semillon
Variety: 80% Chardonnay, 20% Semillon
Region: South Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2008
Price: $7.95
Winery Review:  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 a medium-long finish
 My review: On the nose, there were hints of apple, pear, and what I believe to be almonds. The taste of wine had more earthy flavors like grass. The wine was, also, very dry and not as creamy has I had hoped. The back end of the wine had hints of tropical fruits and than salts, which I didn't enjoy. This was my least favorite of the wines from this week. The combination of the earthy flavors with the dry taste and back ending made me dislike this wine.
Food Pairing: None
