@Delectable Wine Coastal Estates, Chardonnay.

13.5% alc.

Please don't judge but I picked this up to use for steaming some fish/mussels a while ago.

At $4/bottle and with a "Vinted and Bottled by..." on the back label I didn't think it would be enjoyable.
Well...tasting it now two weeks later from the same partial bottle "parked" in the fridge, it is actually not bad at all and given the price tag I think it is a very nice QPR.

Good balanced Chardonnay.

Pear on the nose.. Fairly dry and minerally but with some nice fruit coming through still.

Straw with stone and tropical fruit aromas. Some apple and pear flavors overpowered by floral spice tones. Very acidic a little out of balance with medium oaky finish. Inexpensive wine. Pass. Tasting Sample.

Good, crisp—actually tasted kind of like a sauv blanc but maybe that’s just because my wine palate is unrefined? 😂 Definitely think it smells and tastes more like a sauv blanc than a Chardonnay. Very unoaked, as Chardonnays go

Meh

Good for hot weather and cheap.

Yum! Good Chardonnay. Not too oaky, but still a nice buttery crispness
