Taylors Special Release Chardonnay 2023
Taylors Special Release Chardonnay 2023
$15, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, Adelaide Hills/Clare Valley.
This is exclusive to Aldi stores. It’s not promoted as being “buttery” or “rich” and indeed, on the Aldi website, it’s described as “fresh and elegant”. It is fresh and it does resemble elegance, but it also has a pear-peach-honey-toast richness that I suspect would appeal to those seeking a bit of extra flavour in their chardonnay. Personally I’d take this over the Woods Crampton Buttery Chardonnay (because it’s a better quality wine) though, in saying that, I respect that it’s $3 more expensive. What I’m saying is that this Taylors Special Release Chardonnay is excellent value, and better than many $20+ chardonnays.
