ROBERT CHANNON WINES SINGING LAKE CHARDONNAY VERDELHO 2007




Review of Wine:

A great wine which has a nice balance of flavors. Is very versatile as can be enjoyed at lunch as we have on many occasions (Have purchased a few bottles) while we have also taken as a BYO bottle to the local Indian restaurant. We find it a beautiful wine which can be enjoyed by wine lovers and the not so big wine drinks as offers that balance of fruit without being overly sweet.

Wine Region: Granite Belt, Queensland Australia

Drink Until:

Varieties: Chardonnay and Verdelho

Food: Excellent aperatif that also works well with spicy foods

Colour: Clear yellow

Nose: Lovely fruity aromas with a hint of citrus and peach

Palate:
Our very popular blend of Chardonnay and Verdelho. Fresh citrus and peach aromas lead into a medium bodied wine and medium sweet palate but still fresh, balanced with good acidityand fruit. A favourite wine for summer lunches.
