Aaku 2005 Chardonnay South Australia

In a word, the wine is unremarkable, perhaps to a fault. Look elsewhere.

It’s got a very pale straw color, although it’s bright and clear. There isn’t much in the way of structure to this wine, (it sheets more than anything.) and not much nose either. But certainly no fruit or tree notes are to be had here. If anything, it’s on the citrus/flinty side. It has a mediocre finish (very short). There’s some sweetness and maybe some oak but frankly you could do much better with your eight dollars than this one.

Add an equal amount of fruit punch and it might come up to an Arbor Mist
