Winery Review: "Gotham’s 2008 Wine Men of Gotham Chardonnay Semillon is a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Semillon. It gives a moderate intensity of melon, guava, apricot and butterscotch aromas. The medium bodied palate provides attractive acidity along with plenty
of tropical fruit flavors and a medium-long finish" Vintage Cellar wine notes
My Review: Considered a fairly unorthodox blend or grapes, I sensed a very strong citrus presence on the nose of this down-under wine. It was dry on the palate with a clean finish that accented the fruity flavors very nicely. With the citrus vibes was also a nice acidity that kept the wine balanced and fresh. Favorite white of the night and probably the most interesting and intriguing label work yet.
I sampled the wine without food.
