Tasting - Peter Lehmann Chardonnay

Name: Peter Lehmann Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2010
Price: $9.95 Sale

Winery Review: "The 2010 Chardonnay presents subtle notes of spiced apple slices and ripe peaches with hints of freshly baked bread and melon. Light bodied, clean and refreshingly crisp in the mouth, it offers just enough apple and pear flavor concentration, finishing with medium-long persistence. Drink it now to 2014."

My Review: This was a lighter pale green-yellow color than the previous Protocolo. There was honeydew, pears, and white grape on the nose with subtle hints of pineapple. This was a delicious embodiment of green apple, watermelon, and mango on the palate. It was refreshing and made for easy drinking, with less of a "dry" quality than the previous white. There was a long and bold finish of pear skins. I did not pair this with food, but I think it would taste great with a lemon bar or a meringue pie.
