Tasting- Black Box Chardonnay

 


Name: Black Box Chardonnay

Variety: Chardonnay

Region: Couldn't find exactly what region since most of this brand's Chardonnay is from California. Likely from Western Australia.

Country: Australia

Vintage: 2024

Price: $16.99 from Kroger

Review from Vivino: The wine opens with tropical aromas of pineapple, apricot, lemon zest and vanilla. On the palate, the Chardonnay is light and clean with hints of pineapple, green apple, tart lemon and lemon blossoms with a touch of sweetness on the finish.

Wine Folly: One of the world's most popular grapes, Chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from sparkling Blanc de Blancs to rich, creamy white wines aged in oak.

Personal Review: Very dry, with a striking lemon/lime flavor. Quite acidic with an aftertaste that reminds me of pineapple. I tasted this at room temperature, so the fruit flavors were likely less pronounced than if tasting it cold. Even so, it was still rich in flavor when at room temperature.

I drank this on its own while watching the movie for this week.
