Well it’s back to the Chardonnay Challenge.  I still have a number of chardonnays to taste–and I haven’t even gotten to the naked chardonnay for wine blogging wednesday #36 yet.  Sorry to the chardonnay haters out there, but I’ll get on to some other varietals before too long.  I promise.

Alice White ChardonnayBut for now, let’s check out Alice White Chardonnay 2006.  Alice White wines are from South Eastern Australia.  In general I’m amazed that there are low cost wines from Australia available in the US.  I would expect the shipping costs alone should drive up the price such that they couldn’t be sold for under $10, but there are plenty of Australian value wine options out there. 

The Alice White Chardonnay is a nice light and pleasant chardonnay.  It’s not the best one I’ve had, but is is very enjoyable.  It has a predictable, yet pleasant nose.  Pineapple and vanilla flavors with a nice oaky richness.  I wouldn’t say it’s over-oaked, but those who don’t like oak won’t like this one.  I personnally don’t mind a bit of oak in my chardonnay and I think this wine has the appropriate amount.  It also has a fairly long finish with a refreshing, crisp acidity.  The numbers came out to an 86 and at $7.99, I’d call that a good deal.

This is a nice everyday chardonnay and would be good with fish.  I found a recipe for you to try, linked below.
