Vinarium Chardonnay 2023

Vinarium Chardonnay 2023
$16, 13% alcohol, screwcap, Victoria.

Aldi knows how to find ‘em. This Vinarium Chardonnay is made by the noted Fowles winery and is killer value at $16. The thing is, it’s flavoursome. It tastes of pears and peaches with spice notes tossed through, and while it delivers plenty it remains fresh and, indeed, crisp. There’s a slip of texture – it’s like grape skins – which is always good but this kind of texture works especially well with chardonnay. This is good buying at $16.

This wine is, I think, exclusive to Aldi stores.
