Tasting - "Rosemount Estate Chardonnay"


  • Name: Rosemount Estate
  • Variety: Chardonnay 
  • Region: South Australia 
  • Country: Australia  
  • Year: 2013
  • Price: Regular Price $10 Sale Price $5.95 
  • Shop/wine critic/winery review: This world-renowned wine shows peachy tropical fruit and melon characters on the nose, with a hint of citrus freshness and judicious use of oak. The palate is generous and soft with full, ripe tropical flavors folded into a creamy backdrop that is beautifully structured with a long satisfying finish 
  • My review: On the nose there is a distinct lemon juice smell. These is also a fresh kneaded bread dough smell with fresh peaches kneaded into it. Along with a floral aroma that is very faint in the background. On the palate there is a lot of heat throughout the whole thing. There is a sour patch kid flavor up front and by the end of the taste I am reminded of whisky. I did not taste many fruit flavors only heat and sourness and a very faint floral weedy taste. 
  • Food Pairing: I did not have any food with this wine, although I think it would have helped the taste be less strong.
