A South Eastern Australian Chardonnay

A South Eastern Australian Chardonnay: Wine Reviewed
Lindemans Bin 65 Chardonnay 2010 13.5 % alcohol about $6

Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. “Tasting Note: Light yellow gold color; floral with citrus and vanilla aromas; ripe fruit flavors; soft clean finish. Serving Suggestion: Grilled shrimp; lemon chicken; tuna steak.” And now for my review.

At the first sips this wine was sweet with bright acidity and some oak. The initial meal centered on chicken hamburgers. The wine’s acidity and citrus were somewhat thick. When paired with Basmati rice the Chardonnay came out metallic. Cold cooked beets shortened this wine. I added lots of Louisiana hot sauce with chilies and lime to the meat. This flattened the wine.

This review of a Lindemans Chardonnay continues on my website.
