Vivino.com reviews*: "Straw color in the glass. Vanilla and alcohol nose. Taste is peach, pear and lemon. Oak note finish. Great with falafel"; "Very smooth with notes of mango. Excellent value and very refreshing. A nice summer sipping wine."
My review: I was extremely skeptical about this wine because 1) it's chardonnay and 2) I got it on sale for $2.99 at Lidl (Aldi's competitor). But I ended up enjoying it so much that I had to stop myself from finishing the bottle. Very fragrant, this wine has a strong bouquet of citric acid, pear, and lemon. Final tasting notes of toasted oak, butter, and nuts glide into a smooth finish. Turns out this wine really is a steal!
I tasted this wine with Kahlua pork, which helped bring out more of the fruity flavors, but I prefer it by itself.
*for 2016 vintage
