WINE OF THE WEEK: Brands of Coonawarra Chardonnay

ONE FOR LUNCH: Brand’s of Coonawarra winemaker, Peter Weinberg likes to describe his annual Chardonnay offerings as “the winemaker’s white wine,” and his just-released 2005 showcases his enthusiasm for making this variety.

This one’s got lovely rockmelon and peach characters on the palate with a hint of creamy butterscotch; being a cool-climate Chardonnay it’s a different style to those from warmer regions, and well worth $22.99 to enjoy with seafoods.
