Tasting Review (Vintage Cellar) -
Wine Men of Gotham
Chardonnay/Semillon

Name: Wine Men of Gotham Chardonnay/Semillon
Variety: 80% Chardonnay, 20% Semillon
Region: Southern Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2008
Price: $5.95

Winery 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 a medium-long finish.

My Review: This Chardonnay Semillon had a nice fruity aroma and there was a subtle taste of melon. It had a sharp bite so I noticed how it was quite acidic. This was my first experience with Chardonnay Semillon and I did enjoy this type of wine but it's not a wine that I would buy for myself.                

I didn't try the Chardonnay Semillon with food but I feel like it would pair up well with a grilled fish.
